Straight lines belong to man, while curves belong to God.🪢 So declared Antoni Gaudi, the early twentieth century Spanish architect who designed the unmistakable La Sagrada Famalia church in Barcelona - soon to be finished after more than 140 years of construction. One of the best examples of this distinction for Gaudi was wood.🪵 With its warmth, texture and grooves, wood represented a natural harmony between aesthetic form and function; while using or crafting wood reconnected us with the natural world.🌞 Gaudi did not seek the perfect piece of wood, quite the contrary, he celebrated the knots and imperfections found in wooden forms.😍 He didn’t work to hide flaws but instead brought them to the fore to shine and define his work. For Gaudi, the defects in wood were a crucial part of its beauty.💖
The only thing that blew Gauldi’s mind more than wood was the human body.🥵 Wood may have connected us with nature, but the human form was nature’s most wondrous fucking creation. The curves and crevasses found on the body touched on the divine.❤️🔥 For Gaudi, the human body was to be celebrated, and viewed as being without flaw, as it continually re-defined what beauty is.🤩 There was no negative or positive because every human body for Gaudi was fucking perfect.🥇
Gaudi was a deeply religious man, but you don’t have to be religious to appreciate his cool ideas.😎 Looking at the facts, our species is essentially brand-new - as 99.998% of everything that’s happened, happened before people evolved 300,000 years ago.⌛ And the complexity of the human brain is fucking crazy with hundreds of times more synapse connections than stars in the Milky Way galaxy, giving us the ability to be self-aware.👀 Our minds may very well be the newest, most complex thing in the universe.🌟 Shouldn’t then our bodies be equally revered?🫶 As part of the pinnacle of creation, shouldn’t every bump, every wobble and every fold be held in wonder?😘 Therefore, as difficult as it may sound, if you look in the mirror and see something you don’t like, remember you are part of the universe’s shot at fucking perfection, and be proud of it.🥰
