On Form & Concept of Self
We are an indie platform exploring the conceptual intersection of art, design, and Eastern philosophies, considering the impact of consciousness sciences and the intrinsic invitation to transcend the material. Welcome.
Introspective
and Intentional:
Beyond Images.
How do art and design contribute when ancient philosophical concepts and modern scientific discoveries converge to unveil we are One Self, completely whole, united in consciousness?
ART & DEVICES
Artworks as Signposts for Nondual Practice
A part of L'Enclos’ activities is devoted to producing conceptual art and objects. Some are designed as 'Self-Questioning Devices' or visual markers to support our quantum science interpretations, Eastern philosophical explorations, and nondual spiritual journeys. These artworks serve as reminders that our perception of the world may not fully capture its true essence.

ADVANCED PRACTICE
Design a Mindset of Presence.
Martin Lenclos presents Design for Nothing, a method to help you integrate the transformative perspective that we all share one mind—making the dualistic separation an illusion or dream we need to awaken from. With practice, you can create the mental space necessary to transform your perception of a separated ego into the eternal unified conscious awareness that has always been there but was imperceptible to the naked eye. By embracing this approach, you can unleash boundless creativity across a broad spectrum of endeavors and cultivate a sense of inner peace and presence in all areas of your life.
MANTRA PRACTICE
Explore the Piece of Mind mantra to transition from fragmentation to wholeness, and experience a deeper, more expansive state of being. It brings about a journey from 'piece of mind' to 'Peace of Mind' marking a profound shift—from merely understanding your true nature to deeply knowing it.

INTERIOR-SPATIAL DIGITAL WATERCOLORS
Contours of Impermanence: Transforming the ordinary to wake something up in us
The Contours of Impermanence series by Martin Lenclos invites a meditation on the fleeting nature of our material world. Through the use of impossible axonometric perspectives, these digital paintings encourage us to step beyond the confines of human judgment, transcending preconceived notions of value and function. The objects depicted, deliberately flawed, reflect our own imperfections, urging compassionate introspection. Acting as 'self-questioning devices,' these pieces carry no inherent meaning beyond what we project onto them—an exploration of the power of perception.
This blog post delves into the origins of 'Design for Nothing,' a practice that integrates elements of Advaita Vedanta, Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and 'A Course in Miracles' to transcend ego and realize one's true, nondual essence. Discover the story behind the choice of the term "design" and how it shapes the philosophy. Learn how to create an inner space for 'nothing' and experience profound shifts in perception.
