Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.
Emptiness is not separate from form, form is not separate from emptiness.
Whatever is form is emptiness, whatever is emptiness is form.
they do not appear or disappear; not tainted or pure, not increase or decrease. no form, no feelings, no perceptions, no impulses,
no beginning nor end and so forth until no realm of mind consciousness.
- The Heart Sutra, 649 CE
The word "Buddha" is derived from the Sanskrit language, and it can be translated to mean "awareness," "perception," "enlightenment," and "awakening." The quest for a systematic understanding of the essence of pure consciousness is a shared goal across all fields of inquiry, including philosophy, theology, and science. Scientific inquiry into the workings of the brain and the mind has provided further insight into the nature of consciousness. By recognizing that the subjective and objective aspects of reality are inseparable, we can transcend the limited perspective that creates the illusion of duality.
The goal of art, as it has been throughout human history, is to embody the pinnacle of our mental and spiritual evolution. Today, as we stand at a critical point in our evolution, the purpose of art has become less clear. However, we can look to the wellspring of human consciousness to explore its sources and chart the course it has followed thus far. The unlimited information contained in the database of human consciousness transcends all limitations and is a source of infinite inspiration and potential.
In "Fishing the Moon," the viewer is invited to contemplate the interconnectedness of all things through resonance and frequency. It is a field of energy composed of Hertz frequencies, a space of infinite potential and expression. At the heart of the piece is a tunnel leading to a room submerged in water, vibrating in reaction to the Earth's frequency of 7.83 hertz. This frequency is not only emitted by the planet, but also by human beings in a deep state of meditation. The tunnel leading to a room submerged in water, vibrating in reaction to the Earth's frequency of 7.83 hertz, creates a divine light that symbolizes the state of transition between physical, internal, and spiritual spaces, representing the infinity that connects us all. It can serve as a source of inspiration and potential by tapping into the database of human consciousness. The goal of art is to connect people's conscious, subconscious, and collective unconscious, linking the inner connections of primitive imagery of the human spirit.
Consciousness itself is both awareness and the source of experience. It observes and is aware of all subjective and objective phenomena of life. Like a colorless ray, consciousness illuminates the object witnessed, which is why it is traditionally depicted with "light." In this shimmering surface of water, we see the reflection of our inner world and are invited to contemplate the bond that unites us to others through sound, light, movement, and feeling - the senses that connect us deeply to the earth and to each other.
Resonance is one of the things that can enhance our perception of the world around us. The interaction between a person's physical and mental systems and the environment surrounding it is always present in one way or another. When meditating in brainwave and Schumann resonance synchronicity, a meditator can either receive or transmit energy.
"Look inward", Jung used a house analogy :in a dark house, most people tend to look out at the outside scenery, and looking inward feels unnatural. However, once we light up the dark house, everything brightens up. This metaphor illustrates the "Enlightenment" required in introspection, where we need to shed light on our own spirits through self-reflection. the most profound vistas are often found within ourselves, and that true insight requires us to explore the depths of our own psyche.
We enter the exhibition space through a long, dark tunnel, and upon arrival, we feel that the interior is larger than the exterior. The perception of the space creates a form, and inside it, there exists a completely different imaginative reality. This phenomenon mirrors the nature of our own selves: we are bigger inside.
In this space, it is not always clear what is real and what is imaginary. The audience does not know if the black moon is a black sphere suspended in the center of space, a flaky object, an exit, or a black hole. It lies between the realms of material and immaterial, light and darkness, interiority and exteriority, the object and non-object, existence and non-existence, tangibility and intangibility, yin and yang, know and unknown, material and immaterial, presence and absence, concealment and revelation - all those opposite things that we live with. It leads the viewer to the inner reaches of the imagination, linking the inner connections of primitive imagery of the human spirit.
The collective unconscious is another analogy. It is something that cannot be seen, touched, or felt, but it truly exists. It is like a black hole in the universe - you cannot see it, you can only be attracted to it. Its existence can only be known through the various lights attracted by it and the activities of the celestial bodies.
Perhaps art is a way of studying the non-physical phenomena that surround us, By tapping into the power of energy and consciousness, this energy field has the potential to connect human beings spiritually and visually, transcending the limitations of individual perception and expanding the human experience. we are invited to reflect on the interconnectivity of all things and to consider the relationship between our inner and outer worlds.
