Sequel to Breathing Mountains (2018)
Design by Jeremy Jansen
The sequel to an earlier project exploring the relationship between humans and nature in remote, sacred mountain regions shifts focus to the dynamic and chaotic urban landscape. The metropolis is often viewed as a symbol of acceleration, transience, and alienation, a place where we are constantly bombarded by impressions, information, and images. Yet after observing that human presence is always evident even in the remotest corners of nature, the artist became convinced of the reverse: even in the city, the most human and ever-changing environment, it is possible to discover harmony, timelessness, and a natural connection, provided we remain open and take the time to observe the wonder around us. The viewer is invited to slow down, embracing contemplation and observation to experience natural interconnectedness within everyday surroundings.
