Cavewoman was concluded recently (check previous post) and in this post, I will be sharing highlights from the art galleries I visited while making the documentary.
Location
Khartoum, Sudan.
Specifically Khartoum 2
I will share the specific location for each of the galleries in case you wish to visit.
Mojo Gallery
This gallery is small in size but filled with multiple artworks on different surfaces. They range from descriptive art to abstracts.
I was impressed with their warmness and the accessibility to the artworks.
There are art prints to purchase and sculpted works too.
I met an artist who came to display her artwork. She was super friendly and gave her contribution on how I could get supplies.
The curators in the gallery were encouraging too.
They have a percentage they collect for artworks they display and the possibility of having your artwork displayed depends on quality of media and surface and thier interest in the supposed artwork.
I love these collectionsMine featured🙈 (Affection)Some abstract presentations
I laughed more in this place. They were super warm. I met one of the main painters (I forgot his name, my bad 😳). He told me that he travelled to Lagos, Nigeria for an art exhibition. He along with two others were the only ones selected for the program. He said he loves Lagos and would love to visit again. I met him while he was painting and asked few questions which were answered.
With him was another who was probably just a guide in the gallery.
I also met the one who frames the pictures and his English was very good and it was easy communicating with him.
I showed them my artwork (Affection) and they commended and encouraged me to keep practicing. I also got directions to the art store where I could get better and cheaper supplies.
There should be more galleries but these are the ones I visited in the process of creating the last series.
I felt inspired and encouraged after checking these places and even though I felt sad for finding them in the last period of my stay in this location, I am grateful to have still viewed them.
Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (KJV)

Philippians 3:10 That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death;(KJV)
How has your journey been so far?
Making mistakes?
Falling down?
God is able to keep us until the perfect day only if we allow Him guide us rightly.
This series would be concluded with a documentary that was made during the process of creating the topics.
As already mentioned from the first part, the process involved DISCOVERY which are the 20 art pieces that were created along the line. To view the remaining that were not shared, check onyirose12.
I hope it blessed you. If it did, kindly share to another person.
He will come true. It is not just a wish with God, it is a promise.
Proverbs 23:18 For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.(KJV)
With God there is certainty .
This is something God has been teaching me. With Him, I am certain of my future.
Psalms 37:37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.(KJV)
And I will add this song…
You don't have to worry
And don't you be afraid
Joy comes in the morning
Trouble may not last always
For there's a friend in Jesus
Who will wipe your tears away
And if your heart is broken
Just lift your voice and say
I know that I can make it
I know that I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands
Jeremiah 32:17 Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee: (KJV)
He works in ways we cannot understand. His ways are higher than ours…
Isaiah 55:8-9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. (KJV)
God creates ways where is no way. He makes water flow in desert.
Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.(KJV)
Impossibility is a word that man created. It is not a language that God speaks. God speaks possibilities because that is what He does.
He makes things possible
Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.(KJV)
As this series continues, I want you to realize that one of the major reason you have not grown lies in you.
I am learning this hard truth and rather than blame my environment or people, I am looking inward first and realising that the main reason I have not grown is because I limited myself, my enviroment and God.
I am learning……
Are you better than me in this area? Please share some words in the comment section that can serve as a good healthy advice.
Evolution is the process of evolving. It is the process of transformation.
Arts used in this series are part of DISCOVERY a project I started in August on Instagram. A collection of abstract arts with different titles despicting my thoughts on certain matters.
Some of them would be shared here, and the rest can be found on instagram via my profile onyirose12.
This series will be concluded with a documentary that would be shared here via Youtube.
Hoping to have you watch it then.
MEANING
A cavewoman is one who has lived in a shell of personality for as long she has known.
Emotions differ and unless a person is apathic, our emotions depend on triggering factors, good or bad.
She is one who has allowed her emotions control her perception and though her emotions are not always wrong, they have not always been reliable.
For some of us, we are able to let go of emotions and do what needs to be done.
In summary your emotions rarely sway you.
For some of us, our emotions tug at us with ferociousity until we either win or yield.
It is a consistent struggle to either yield to what we are feeling or do what needs to be done.
The thoughts often move like this:
What would the person think?
How would the other person feel?
What would happen afterwards?
How would I deal with this situation in the best way possible?
Did I do well enough?
Did I do bad?
What perception has been registered about me?
How do I coordinate myself in such a way that I do not loose myself in the process?
These thoughts are constant in almost every relationship that the cavewoman experiences.
They are the dilemma that swirl teasingly no matter hard they tried to be ignored
Noticing the tiniest expressions, the movement of the hands, the sigh of the lips, the tone in the voice, the response to questions, all of these details and more are often observed most times without sharing but analzying within.
The desire to keep emotions at the right place is a consistent concern for the cavewoman and hence her response to the outside is often an irony.
If she tells you everything she observed yet refused to say, it would be a surprise.
The muddling of emotions but the concern of perception may make the cavewoman share her emotions in a muddled way.
It often comes out differently than what you may expect.
Remaining hidden also involves the beauty of controlling noise in the enviroment. When unable to control noise, it can trigger and set her ablaze.
However, in life there are many things that we cannot always control.
Many
Cavewoman or Cavew(hu)man
I am one used to solitude. It affords me the opportunity to filter my thoughts, my relationships and create a balance on my decisions.
This does not mean that I do not value human relationship, communication or even company.
I do.
I do a lot.
A lot
Recently, I have been researching more and discovered certain things that have explained certain things.
The truth is that nobody can fully discover themselves or another person. The only who has that ability is God.
He searches the heart.
If you have never taken a personality test especially the one made by Meyer and Briggs, I encourage you to do so. I have taken it more than five times and got the same result.
The result explained many things, and described me very well.
Amazing right?
And then I also took another test and it confirmed many other things.
Well, I know some people may think that the tests are unreliable. However, if they describe you better than another human has done before, I do not think there is a harm analyzing it.
Discovering yourself helps you understand why you respond to certain things.
Why certain relationships are more important to you and others are not.
Why you have certain values and why they are important to you.
Why you have the goal you have and why you are willing to achieve it.
It allows you understand why certain things have happened the way they did and why you responded that way.
As I continue in my journey of discovering who God has made me to be, I am willing to let go of things that have not allowed me to grow.
It also a journey of coming to a place of honesty with myself and the ways I have interacted with humans in the world.
This interaction is not only physical but includes the dilemma I have had to face when presenting myself.
The conflict I have had to face because I allowed certain notions grow in my mind and thus created internal environments that did not allow me be completely sincere and honest with myself.
In order to appreciate what God has been doing, I have to accept the corrections He has been giving and forgive myself and allow myself to heal from wounds inflicted by others and myself.
In this journey, I am learning that I will lose hope if I do not hang unto God.
God has been the best anchor and would always be. Amen
This process of evolution I am going through is because God started it and He will finish it.
Psalms 139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. (King James Version)
If you were wondering the results of the test, here they are:
INFJ and a HSP
I mentioned HSP alot, it means a highly sensitive person. As much as labels are not my thing, understanding your personality helps you interact with your society, yourself and do better.
With the Holy Spirit helping me, I am able to allow my weakness and strength be submitted to God’s will. Amen.

Some of the topics I have shared appear repeated. This is not because I do not have topics to share, but because there is always more no matter how many times it has been shared.
This is way of exploring the diversity I am experiencing as they happen and also affords you, the reader the opportunity to experience it too.
