Statement

The work combines video, sound, images, and light. It evolves into an abstraction formed by an interplay between a multitude of colors, forms, textures, and movements inspired by the cycle of nature. They change, gather, transfigure, and disintegrate into smaller clusters, gradually fade until they disappear. A central circle is composed with layers of images from hundreds of photographs and digital drawings of various scenes and objects from daily life and imagination. They are fragments that gather and spin like planets floating in the universe. They overlap and dissolve, producing an effusion of colorful particles that drift across the space-a spectacle that engrosses our minds.

The gradual change of movements throughout the video signifies the natural evolution which requires an immense amount of time to adapt, in the same way that we adapt to our social environment. This evolutionary process is beautiful in itself, describing our needs to transform according to the time, context, and society in which we live. At times, it is also uncertain, which can leave us with a sense of sadness and remorse.

Things cannot last forever. They change. They get old. Time and evolution are inevitable. Mindfulness is a work that imagines life's evolutionary experiences using colors and textures. It allows the viewers to overcome realistic visuals, leads them to shadows of imagination to discover personal experiences within.
