Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Where does abstraction begin?The Shape of Seeing is a collection of short essays on time, geometry, shadow and breath, and on what happens between a person and an abstract canvas. Part memoir, part meditation, it turns the act of painting into a way of paying attention.Ritu Raj grew up in New Delhi among the painters his father, the art critic K.B. Goel, wrote about. In 2020 he returned to the canvas he first knew as a child, and this book follows that return. It treats painting as a discipline of attention, and seeing as something that can be practiced.Across twenty chapters, Raj explores how the way we see turns into what we create, how paint and pigment become something closer to spirit, why abstraction can say things about being human that realism cannot, and how color, line and silence work as a language of their own. One chapter tells how a length of string slipped onto a canvas and began his Organic Movement paintings.It is written for painters and collectors, and equally for anyone who has stood before an abstract painting, felt something, and could not find the words."To paint is to live in the eternal moment where matter becomes light and seeing becomes being." A painter's essays on time, geometry, shadow and breath, and on what happens between a person and an abstract canvas. For anyone who has felt something before a painting and could not name it.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A machine can answer a question. Only a human can wonder.A machine can predict a pattern. Only a human can break one.We already live in an algorithmic world. The shows we watch are tuned to pull on our emotions. Even the toothbrush in your bathroom was probably sold to you by an algorithm. So where do we come in? What becomes of the soul, the heart, and, at the end of the day, love?In The Unalgorithmic Self, painter Ritu Raj takes up that question.Across thirty chapters on the body, emotion, memory, imagination, identity, uncertainty, love, ethics and art, Raj names the part of human life that refuses reduction: the fact that your life has an inside. A profile may approximate your tendencies, but it cannot contain your becoming. A model may predict your next click, but it cannot witness the quiet moment when you decide to change.Drawing on Arendt, Levinas, Nussbaum, Heidegger and Hans Jonas, and on a working life spent both in the studio and in building technology, this is not a book against AI. It is a book about remembering ourselves. The question is not whether machines will become more human, but whether humans will remember what makes them human.Written openly in conversation with an AI model, with the ideas and the values firmly the author's own, it is a book for anyone who uses these tools and wants to remain the author of their own life. A machine can answer a question. Only a human can wonder. A painter names the part of human life that refuses reduction. Not a book against AI, but a book about remembering ourselves.
