This research, as a 50/50 creative thesis, was an a/r/tographic conversation between a written exegesis and an a/r/t exhibition held on April 1, 2022, at The Melbourne Graduate School of Education. This exhibition presented a series of artworks as research, including 'Can’t You See Everything’s Connected?' illustration and the 'Process' (Rhizome) installation.

'Can’t You See Everything’s Connected?' illustration, made by the PhD candidate, Nedasadat Sajadi, was originally created using colour pencils on white A3 paper. It was then scanned and printed on A1 foam board, hung at the back of the exhibition room, surrounded by a rhizome made of blue yarn. This illustration addressed learning through process and entangled and uncertain paths by being aware of movements.
