samsara
kinetic mandala to tell the story of oneness
Somehow we all feel it: everything is connected to everything.
We all know these moments, these experiences of being one with our surroundings. Occasionally we get a glimpse into the connected nature of reality, but it often remains an abstract concept in our physical world.
Since we do not have universal models to describe these experiences, our rational minds have trouble to accept those as actual reality. Without a story to integrate it, there is no way to make reasonable sense of it.
So what kind of models can we create to make such phenomena accessible to our thinking minds? How do we nourish our senses and align our stories and metaphors of this world with the insights of modern science and ancient wisdom?
In our times intuition and ratio, wisdom and science, begin to complement each other, not contradict.
We are invited to think about other dimensions, black holes, parallel realities, quantum entanglement, wave particle dualism, singularity and even the nature of time, to make sense of our experiences.
Only to be left with the suggestion, that we might just imagine everything and that this imagination itself is creating reality in every given moment.
The kinetic installation Samsara proposes one physical manifestation of otherwise immaterial dynamics like synergy and synchronicity. It provides a canvas for our mind to project ideas on to.
Orchestrating universal geometries and mathematical relations, it addresses our deepest sense of life and beauty ~ encouraging us to trust our intuition and derive our own story.
