Moving stillness

2020

The moment is not properly an atom of time, but an atom of eternity. 

– Soren Kierkegaard

Everything is abstraction. Everything is movement. Everything is one.

 

On a calm summer day, the sea appeared still, with gentle ripples stirred by a light breeze. Emerging from one of Spain’s strictest lockdowns, this sea reflected the many Zen truisms circulating during uncertain times-find harmony within; flow in stillness. As the ultimate Jungian symbol of our inner world, the sea inspired this series of two quadriptychs, meant to mirror the inside-out experience of oneness in moving stillness.
