Nirvana

At the height of summer, in a forest teeming with life I pause and look. In that moment, in that stillness, the mind silent, with time standing still, I experience the word passed down from the ages. “Nirvana” is about this experience. The momentary oneness with all life felt in times of meditation and deep connection with nature. I chose to use a vibrantly alive tropical forest to evoke the warmth and activity of high summer. The unknowable is represented as light or energy, and this light is the meaning behind the celebration of the solstice. Created for the 0x Society’s Solstice Exhibition.
