In this article, I explore transgressive experience by embracing my personal encounters with art and life. In accordance with a phenomenological approach, I emphasize immediate experience, description, and analysis of the world as a source of knowledge and understanding. From the perspective both of art education and research, I attempt to show the enslaving effect of conventions. Furthermore, I trace and lay bare the origins of my transgressive experience from a methodological viewpoint by describing and interpreting the moments and threads that link them with time, place, and situations, thus making transparent my actions as a researcher. I travel upstream, first discussing writing, then reflecting on the composition and materials of the case that I present, and concluding with the question of how my chosen approach serves the research task. I finish with a more general meditation in the form of a prose poem on introspective research
