DAZLISM is a human-centered art movement born from a place of deep sorrow, silence, and the search for meaning. It began when I, Afzal, found myself disconnected from life, wounded by unreturned love, shaken by the loss of a guiding presence, and overwhelmed by the weight of a world that felt unkind and uninviting. The loneliness drained my energy. The pain made me still.

In that silence, I began to draw, not with a goal, but with a need. Through lines and shapes, I found a language that helped me release what words could not. As I drew, something changed: my mind cleared, my body reawakened, and my energy returned. I discovered that expression is healing, and that healing is movement.

DAZLISM is the name I gave to this journey.
The letter D, a rotated A, stands for a new beginning.

The letter  “L” stands for the middle and “Z”  represents the ending.

DZL comes from everyone's life because this path is represent , complete life journey.

This movement is for anyone who has felt lost, broken, or invisible. It is for those who carry pain but want to transform it. For those who are ready to move and not to escape, but to feel, to express, and to grow.

DAZLISM is not about being an artist. It's about being alive.
It invites you to pick up whatever tool you have and begin.

From stillness to expression. From pain to purpose.

DAZLISM does not follow a fixed method. It is an evolving, intuitive process rooted in honesty, emotional truth, individual experience, and shared connection.

The path may include:

Letting thoughts guide the hand while drawing.

Visualizing emotions and translating them into shapes, textures, or colors.

Pausing to observe the forms you've drawn and exploring whether they connect to ideas in art or design.

Using the body as a medium, through movement, dance, breath, rhythm, drawing, sculpting, modeling, or hands-on work with materials like paper, leather, stones, or other simple, tactile elements.

My drawings became my anchor. They helped me unlock a reservoir of energy that had been buried for years. I now move, create, and live with purpose, and invite others to do the same.
