This exhibition is the result of exchanging ideas and sharing experiences (both in words and in visual terms) on the relationship between spirit and nature. The artists offer a variety of personal contributions, reflecting the infinite abundance of reflections this topic offers; we can look at each piece as the crystallization of a stream of physical, emotional and mental energy that is intimately related to the journey from Nature to Spirit. The resulting visual dialogue in which singular pieces converse with one another is building a shared space where forms converge to create new relationships and possibilities.
We live in a society that is predominantly oriented by materialism, rationalism and its technological advancements; with an exaggerated emphasis on consumption. Nature is considered a mere subordinate to humankind, both as a source of raw materials and as a container for our waste. Fortunately, there is also an alternative view, which originates simultaneously from surviving native cultures and the historical ancestral past of “advanced” societies, where humans are regarded as one of the many intimately connected parts of a whole. This perspective considers nature as an infinitely complex network of interdependent relationships, composed by an incredible variety of organisms that display intelligent behavior.
