“The Scarcity of Life” Oil on canvas/ mixed media - 80 cm x 100 cm
The story: "We must strive (...) to find a new philosophy, a philosophy which will serve as a tool determining the future of Planet Earth - our common and only shelter." Nursultan Nazarbayev
Other details: broken bike mirror, web camera, origami paper doves, natural varnished wood sticks ecc.
The canvas is cut at the head and bones area, in order to give the painting a 3d effect, and for shadows play, when hanged on the wall.
Symbol: The Circle defines the infinite and the Universe, and by our mind’s ripples we create groups,
Societies, personal universes, forgetting of our truly roots. The mirror is the symbol of our soul, and in our contemporary times, we’ve lost track of what is true, what is friendship and love, and we all got blinded by technology, used in our disadvantage. Just like the reverse of the medal…
Actions speak louder than words.
