“The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes.”
My newest project “Let the Wind blow” is currently featured in the Cairo Art Gallery as part of the exhibition
“A Place Between Us” curated by Mahmoud Hamdy.
My windy cycle consists of the art book “Born with the Wind- the Diary of the Journey without end” and the two paintings which are completing the story.
We are living in a rapidly changing world- it became so noisy - so many superficial whistles disturb the sound of the Wind.
In many different cultures, the wind has been used as a symbolic parallel of the Spirit; philosophers, spiritual teachers and sages have been deliberating on its qualities and weaving the structure of soul development. I collected the quotes concerning this matter from various sources and incorporated them in my artbook. You can find in it words by Rumi, Aristotle, St.John, Confucius, Einstein, Dickens, Witkacy, Heraklit, Seneka, Marcus Aurelius and many others. Texts are interlacing the river of time, creating the flow of the universal reality.
So come to Cairo Art Gallery and unveil your own unique story in my “Dairy of the Journey without end”…
