This series delves into the theme of meditation.
Meditation involves creating a void in the flow of thoughts, a pause in the involuntary discourse of the mind. It serves as a journey of self-discovery, offering a deeper understanding of artistic concerns. Whether pursued consciously or not, the act of creation can serve as a pathway to a meditative state. Connected to this meditative practice is the concept of "flow," where the artistic act itself becomes an act of presence.
In Zen Buddhism, zazen, embraces two essential aspects: the act of stopping ("shi") and the act of looking ("kan"). These principles extend beyond meditation, shaping the behavior of any observer, contemplator, or visual artist. Therefore, the process of creating art transforms into a meditative journey, where inspiration evolves into revelation.
The human presence in the photographs transforms into an observer of their own being and the surroundings. The surreal elements integrated in the works invite viewers to question the boundary between reality and imagination.
This exploration aims to convey a transcendental shift – from the external landscapes, representing the outer world to an internal realm. This internal space becomes a realm of balance, introspection, and continuous transformation.
