Nature, life, and consciousness are in a constant state of change, which simultaneously contains elements of decay and evolution. Humans are confronted daily with change, a form of death. The more consciously one chooses to live, the more consciously allows the self to “die.” By observing Nature, one can gain access beyond the visible world, also into the invisible realm. By recognizing the cycle of death and rebirth, one can come into contact with what remains unchanged, beyond the body and mind, with the true Self.

Nature offers humans the field of Apprenticeship, the entire spectrum of knowledge, and the possibility of its realization. As they explore free will by taking responsibility for their personal life, every moment becomes a choice, an opportunity for rebirth and freedom. But what leads a person to the decision of change, to the courage of choice, to the risk of death?

Faced with the call for transformation, one allows purification through complete surrender. With a silent mind, one strengthens the warrior within, transforms pain into transcendence, fear ceases, connects with the true Self and the divine reality. The person recognizes the inhabitant of the body who is eternal, imperishable, and limitless.

With the desire to live truly free, one unifies earthly life with the eternal becoming.

The artists reflect on the eternal mystical relationship between life and death. The exhibition “Fleeting and Eternal” engages with the myth of Persephone, approaching the concept of rebirth. The purpose of the exhibition is to open a dialogue about what is “the Beginning and the End”, where we come from, where we return, and how we experience the in-between that we call life, are we fleeting or eternal?
