Earth Beneath
jan. 29th – feb. 18th 2009
The incessant time transforms dead trees under the soil to coal and diamonds, memories into myths and stories into legends. Remnants and relics hidden underneath, breathe-in and breathe-out these memories. The earth emanates a certain calmness and dispassion about all these transformations. The planet is still balancing and sustaining after all the abuses we have inflicted upon it. Yet a new sun shows up every morning. Soil darkens and becomes fertile again.
A 'new earth' is born every day. We muddle through fresh realities continuously. Transience is a constant reality of the phenomena. Image maker is trying to explore and reflect both the anxiety and the tranquility it creates. The process ultimately is a gesture of gratitude to the planet and the all encompassing phenomena which we all are a part of.
Sebastian Varghese.
