CENOTE The World Reborn New Works from the cULTUREgLU project
A new body of work, exploring the concept of "CENOTE: The World Reborn". Exhibiting paintings, photography, sculpture reflecting the universal theme of water & light, to create meditative view of our world being reborn, exploring the ancient past with our uncertain future through the 'looking glass' of these reflective pools of water, our environment, pondering the sustainability of mother earth.
Magical, sacred water, crystalline pools known as CENOTES, were born into our world, in one instant in time when most everything else, including the dinosaurs, were obliterated. Scientists recently reached ground zero for one the worlds most famous cataclysms, the Yucatan Peninsula was the target of a cosmic wrath 66 million years ago when a large asteroid struck the earth blasting open the 180 km wide Crater, leading to the extinction of most life on the planet. Because caring for our land, body, mind, spirit are so heavily connected, the Cenote reflective pools offer us a looking glass, a way to experience our world being rebornbefore our eyes.
We are born from water. Water is just as important to our bodies as it is to life on earth. At birth, water accounts for nearly 80 percent of our body weight. Nearly three-fourths of the earth’s surface is covered by water. Think of what we need to survive? Water is of major importance to all living things.
To capture the essence of the theme, my artworks will be presented as a installation, conceptually related to Cenotes in the form of painting, photography and sculpture. They will be created on/with various media, including canvas, paper, mirror, wood, glass and metal.
