In an act of seeing
Seeing is an evolution.
Just like Life. You can't see it all.
Or know the truth about it. Getting closer starts with connecting pieces.
Then, it appears, and lives on, as your own, evolving version of it.
The life worth living.

It is how I learned not only to see water. Despite years of study, it was not what I felt about it, or I applied. Finding water central in the web of Life, and all its cycles, was finding myself living within, not outside of it. Hidden were the meanings of water molecule properties that made Life possible, as we know it. Unseen world of abstract dimension, relationships, and consequences. On the only planet we know that supports life.




So much more was to see what empowers our world.
The mysteries, science, and our imagination. And the sun's energy cycled by water.
People always knew it. They summarized it by wisdom, "Water is Life".

With each spring, I await Life unfolding, with all my greedy senses tuned in.
To feel it all inside. The torrents of molecules, the DNA invisible instructions of Life's cycle.
Answering the call of the Sun in long-established patterns.
Although I feel bonded with it now, I am aware of a caveat in all of it.

Chaos is a natural state of matter in the universe. Life, the notable exception,
survives by carving out an orderly space of living conditions in the physical world.
To survive, Life can’t afford to ignore the laws of physical world.
The physical world is always oblivious to Life's realities.

I have carved out in my life a little space of hopes and promises.
Yet, I am not blind to ascending systemic problems.
Making sense of what matter now is more than hopes of next generations.
My working projects were intended as a contribution to our shared ways of seeing it.




For decades, I used to escape the urban environment into a different realm of reasoning.
My experiences, ideas and thoughts from it transpired in my exhibition projects at private and public galleries.
