"Life is an experimental continuity, even though it is composed of broken wholes, deep hallows and paradoxical emotions". Nilay takes details from the world of classical footwear and questions them. Even though those classical details are re-invented and presented in a new way, one can still feel familiar emotions when looking at the footwear.
Finding a new type of continuity.  Being part of an experience which is still continuous.

Taking a piece of history , keeping it and breaking it into pieces again. A piece of history that contains a lot of  collective memories in our minds. Which sounds very continuous still....... But always pregnant to have a new experience by new people existing in the world. Take one picture into your hand. Look at it. Follow each part by your eyes. Close everything but leave just one detail. One continues detail. Change it. Than look at your picture again. Now it is an experimental piece of your continuity. Classics are always the biggest continuity ever in life. Play the classics. Create new classics. Or don’t call them classics anymore. Call them experimental continuity. Look at your memories. Take a look at your new picture. Be reflected by classics & reflect it to your moment now. Do play with the material you have in your mind, surprise yourself. Be ready to surprise emotions & experiments.

Although we think that we are reading with our eyes most of the times we read by our mind. Our mind full of everything. We have lots of references to direct our reading process. Memories, images, movies, music, rules, connections, family, friends, experiences, life with everything. That’s why we don’t read total sentence. it’s the same with the things we look. sometimes we don’t look because we already know what it is. Our mind completes  broken pieces. But if we surprise our mind with breaking most trustful continuous  parts & things ? And still have them “one” . Surprise your mind map with the game  of broken continuity.

 

Whenever our expectation level has a unexpected concern mismatch in it,

Whenever our already accepted truth becomes a lie,

Whenever somebody says yellow to blue, our paradoxical emotions get triggered and effect all our body with high surprise emotion.  Again the same truth is “continuous” in this part. The biggest shake occurs with the “change” of mostly accepted forms, thought etc. But this time in a very Witty way. Also brave to think like a mad man. Think from the end to beginning.

 

During all the perfect continuous continuity that we have in general, sometimes things are not goes as well as they always do. Or for some of us continuity is having hollows all the time. Sometimes the surface gets dots, hollows. Total picture gets deformed. destroyed. Like depression, addiction, breaking ups, sickness, getting old. Or any small mind crisis we have. They all put a full stop and dig a hollow to our continuity. But the beautiful part of this deep hallows is that, although they make  a distortions to the flow, they add beautifulness to the picture in general. A different taste, a special curiosity.
