The Art of Unravelling: Turning Inner Noise into Outward Wonder
We all carry it a tangled, vibrant explosion of “inner noise.” It’s the chaotic mix of half-formed thoughts, sudden emotions, and the persistent hum of daily life. Usually, we try to keep a lid on it, tucked away in the cardboard boxes of our minds. But what happens when we let it spill out?
Inside Out is a perfect metaphor for the transformative power of art. It’s a literal “burst” of color and form, where the messy internal becomes a tangible external.
Drawing Out the Outline
Art acts as a vessel for the intangible. When we create whether it’s a sketch, a poem, or a sculpture made of paper scraps we are essentially tracing the silhouette of our inner world. What felt like an overwhelming blur in our hearts suddenly has a shape. We can see the sharp zig-zags of anxiety, the soft loops of hope, and the bold, straight lines of our convictions.
A Journey Guided by Curiosity
Once the noise is “out there,” something notable happens: reflection begins. By externalising our thoughts, we shift from being trapped by them to being curious about them. We start to ask:
- Why is that specific shade of my moods so prominent today?
- What does this tangled knot of thoughts represent?
- Where is that lone thought strip reaching?
This curiosity turns a chaotic mind into a learning environment. We begin a journey of learning, discovering patterns in our feelings that we never noticed while they were trapped inside.
From Chaos to Clarity
Art doesn’t necessarily “fix” the noise, but it organizes it into a journey. It gives us permission to stand back, look at the vibrant mess we’ve made, and say, “So, that’s what’s going on in there.”
In that moment of recognition, the noise loses its power to overwhelm and gains the power to teach.

I like thinking about this from your perspective. Sometimes I can’t sleep, my thoughts are so chaotic. But when I write them down, they do form a shape that I can come back to with prunning shears during the day. Developing the ability to be without judging my own existence feels like it will take a lifetime to learn. Art helps.
