Water carries fragments of memory. Wash away your thoughts, the water takes you away. We are made of water, we began to exist in water and we always want to return no matter how scary or uncomfortable it may seem at times. And of course, water is our source of life. Water is something without which we cannot exist. In my creative processes, the elements of nature play an essential role. I am extremely interested in the qualities they give and how they contain the essence of existence. The fact that they create and destroy gives clear thoughts about the natural cycle of life and the continuous flow that we often forget to follow. In the ancient beliefs of peoples, as preserved in their mythologies, water is an element of purification and purification, and its life-giving power was associated with magical and healing properties. In Greek mythology, the power of water is emphasized, as the ancient gods, fascinated by water, took a sacred oath to the waters of Styx, the river of Hades and the dead with its dark, heavy and cold waters. The representation of water in the myth’s symbolic language gives it the sanctuary’s character.
Some little stars struggled to get out and light up the blue dome of the sky, but they reached the clouds and reduced them to ashes. Somewhere far away it will have rained. The stars want to go out, but the clouds won’t let them, they chase them and suffocate them. On such a dark and moonless night they do not move away from each other, they roll over each other to be found together by the “heavy” shadows that cross the darkness and become men – giants.
Sweet voices like the murmur of the sea and fear begin to bite the hearts.
To collect our own foam from the matter of the abyss. Unless you were born in those parts of our loneliness that you don’t understand. Your eyes the buried clay. From above the eternal the incomparable. The moon of the craters on the scars. The rusty keys in the secret rocks and the turquoise reserves in the murky waters. And the god throws broken glasses and untangles the dawn light. The child’s hand sprinkled the rose with salt.
