Water

Live and die. How time passes and nobody can stop the process of evolution. This has a calming effect on me, and I continue to observe, as I am part of this eternal process beyond our concept of time and space. Existence in the material sense is limited, it has a beginning and an end and becomes circular. This reflects eternity, the timeless, in a circle. In the climatic water cycle.

Nature is evolution, constant change in flux, a chaotic coming and going that I perhaps also perceive in my surroundings and can thus establish a connection. In this way, art arises directly from personal experiences, spontaneously and subsequently thought through, and hopefully integrated into the whole that carries us forward. Inspiration rises from the unconscious to the light. Water creates connections and always finds its way. We know that water is life, the primordial soup from which we crawled onto land, the human being, one of an infinite number of life forms. We differentiate between the various levels, turn everything upside down out of curiosity and gain insights through changing perspectives. Our life is a journey of discovery, whether we realise it or not. And sometimes we experience the ‘aha’ moment and feel insightful, preferably excited and fulfilled. But sometimes we also feel disillusioned and dismayed.

Humour always helps. What is important or unimportant? To not interrupt the flow, it's better to play a trick on the overbearing.
