SLC-S31/W6-“Creative Interpretation| The Concept -Becoming”

Hello friends!

Welcome to the final week of the season. It's great to participate by making my entry.

Becoming is that which brought everything we could think of. It is a process to an end or a stage that may likely lead to a new beginning or elvove as the case may be. Creating a fictional or metaphorical piece would best define the word "Becoming".

The Piece

Just like the stream reaches the river and never says I'm done, the river reaches the mouth of an ocean and continues. They simply become a bigger part of their initial form.

We are raised to a fixation where life seem that of a finished line. When we go to school, we graduate, get a job and earn, get married and make a family, retire, and eventually die. This is a typical stage of becoming that ends an existence to non-existence.

Looking at the water story, we all know it starts from the saturated clouds, rains down, floods, and then gets back to the clouds as vapor. A typical call what we know as watercycle.

We cannot keep asking what we want to be but rather focus on what we will become next. For every stage we achieve, there is always a process of becoming that ends and also rebirths into another stage of becoming.

In our erosion seasons, we create paths while flowing. Other moments, we are droughts [withstanding hard times], but in our flood moments, we are bountiful in our supplies.

There is no final form but rather a continuous water flow that doesn't retire but always becomes.

What transformation is taking place in your interpretation?*

My piece inspires anyone with a focus on transformation that sees static goals mutate into cyclic growth. A situation that discourages arrivals as a pattern but uplifts a pattern to become. The piece does not recognise a process that drives fixation or endpoint but a continuous state of change. A typical example created from the water cycle.

We don't stop but rather become and become again. The end of one rebirths another process to become. Key lessons transformative lessons here are that we move away from people chasing a finish line to those believing in the cycle that ever evolves.

What challenges appear during this process?

Loss of Identity– This is a scenario that comes. from.a continuous change of state and status. If we find. ourselves in a situation where. we change, there is difficulty in knowing who we really are.

Brings About External pressure – The quest to know when we need to settle and finish becomes a problem. Our Family and society culture is at a stage desperately desire to know what’s next” for us and “when we want to settle” in all of this cyclic growth. For them that values arrival and finished lines, this brings instability and discomfort for them, hence the pressure.

Stems Exhaustion – Continuous growth means a continuous process that brings exhaustion. In our erosion moment that creates new paths, this hurts. Drought seasons feel like we have lost everything and sometimes bring failure to our face. Whereas Floods moment alienate people to us which makes us unstable in any version of life but rather keeps us on.

How does your piece connect to your personal growth or vision?

Before now, my thoughts about the “drought” seasons have been moments of failure, inadequacy, or errors made. A state of inertia and inactivity. But my understanding of this concept simple.Aligns this as a cycle in the process of becoming. Life is all about being a cycle that evolves. It could be erosive (path creation), drought, or flood. My growth stopped being about arrival but a flow that is cyclic.

This could also be seen to be versatile in every season that passes through the stage of becoming without having to be obsolete in any of them. A vision that hones our ability to adapt in any situation, be it stream, river, or storm.
