FROM THE HEART TO THE WORLD

This is an installation about listening, healing and connection.

I grew up with the changing of the seasons. Each one had its own scent and rhythm. But somewhere along the way, I lost that rhythm. Without any great drama, it simply evaporated as life went on. Until one day, I woke up with a strange feeling of displacement. It was as if the earth had lost something. Or had I?

Wondering if this was reversible, I came across the documentary Aluna. It tells the story of the Kogi community in Colombia. They honour Mother Earth, guided by water, and restore what modern people has damaged. With golden thread. The message is:

"The flow has been interrupted." We must reconnect, together and from within.”

The installation:

A spinning core and taut thread — chaotic yet purposeful.
There is no fixed pattern. No perfect shape.
Energy. Consciousness. An attempt at restoration.
A thread that connects us all.
Between humans and the Earth. Between inside and outside.
From the heart to the world.
