What Am I Even Looking At?

How Abstract Art Connects You to Something Beyond Words

You’re not supposed to know exactly what you’re looking at.

That’s the point.

Abstract art isn’t a puzzle to solve. It’s an experience. A mirror. A transmission. It bypasses explanation and goes straight to the part of you that lives beyond language.

Some pieces might remind you of something specific. Others might stir something you can’t name. Both are valid. Both are real. Both are worth trusting.

Abstract art doesn’t require understanding—it requires presence. It asks you to feel without needing to explain.

And sometimes, that’s what we need most: To remember that beauty can move us, shape us, and stay with us—even if we never quite find the words.

So the next time you feel yourself drawn to a piece but don’t know why, that is the why.

It’s not about “getting it.” It’s about being willing to be moved.
