Between a panoramic view and a bouquet

Between the panoramic vision and the bouquet. The landscape is a sensitive form, a state of the soul that allows us to escape from social bustle.

The bouquet, the offering, the ikebana. The art of organizing nature in a large garden invokes a landscape in an ideal encounter.

The light bathes and accompanies it, sliding between pastel colors creating a peaceful atmosphere. These elements filter perspective to put together the story to understand what we call nature and where we are located as a species. Everything changes when the color changes.

Time slows down and lets us breathe. The experience is dreamy, of dawn or dusk. Space, time, light and sound cause a continuity that embraces and lulls us.

What lives in the depths becomes surface and screen. The observer’s time is prolonged. This is how the landscape becomes bigger, continues and is in itself. The state of suspension of the self-places the subject in contact with the artwork.

The hammock is an element of rest, a moving object, hanging, without firm feet on the ground. It activates the point of view by swinging. It makes the mutant experience of time and space a physical reality. 

The present is always both above and below and determines how to anchor in front of the work. A time that comes and goes. What can be seen from above, from a bird’s eye view.

Understanding the energy of heaven, the energy of that sacred water blesses us from head to toe. To chase the sky and the water, to bring them home. An answer to the wonder of immensity.
