The Sea of a Thousand Dreams
“Water – the mystical primordial environment from which we all, all life on Earth, originated. Going back to the water is an important part of many people’s recovery rituals, holidays, joy and entertainment. In the water, we seem to lose a lot of our weight – the pressure of gravity on the body is reduced, and the water holds us.
Having said that, water is also dangerous since we are no longer full-time water creatures. But many of us are adapting to this urge to be weightless. We learn to overcome the danger of the sea. We learn to glide on the waves and dive into the depths. The ocean, the sea, water in general are metaphors for the mind. Sinking into the depths, everything becomes silent. The depths of our minds are silent. To achieve peace of mind, one must shift one’s focus deeper than the stormy waves of thoughts and feelings. This happens in deep meditation.
In these images, I have tried to express the human desire for peace, lightness and tranquillity. ”
