BEAUTIFUL IDEA (2024)
An insight into the cyclic interplay of life and death
When a tree falls, the motion disturbs the air, causing ripples that radiate far away. The event gets incorporated into the wheel of life (bhavachakra).
‘Beautiful idea’ depicts a surreal resurrection from a tree tomb of the mythical “forest woman” (Fauna, Baba Yaga, Forest Mother). Her slow-paced walk along the trunk of a huge fallen tree represents a dreamlike journey blending myth, memories of our departed loved ones, and haunting visions of what awaits us all one day. ‘Beautiful idea’ is a poetic encouragement and reminder of our shared calling towards the unborn luminosity of our primordial mind.
