Adolf Wölfli made this incredibly detailed drawing, 'The Center=Bakers, shows the plan of the Two, Chinese, Half=Island,=Giant=Cities, Zunga=East and Zunga=West', and honestly, it's a trip. You can almost feel him hunched over the page, meticulously building this vision. It's wild to imagine what Wölfli might have been thinking as he layered these images and words. The precision of the line, the symmetry, and the recurring motifs – like those little faces – create a sense of both order and obsession. The blue is particularly striking against the muted tones, grounding the composition. It's tempting to find a narrative thread, but maybe the beauty lies in letting go and simply experiencing the work as a whole. Wölfli reminds us that art is a process of discovery, a way of making sense of the world – or creating an alternative one. His art feels like a reminder that conversations keep going long after we’re gone.
