Original oil painting (2024) Original Oil Painting by Mariia Bashtova

“Whispers of Bloom”
The purpose of this work is to explore the profound and intricate vulnerability of human consciousness, examining its deep interconnection with the ever-changing and impermanent essence of nature. It seeks to explore how the fragility of our awareness mirrors the transitory beauty of the natural world, inviting reflection on the dynamic interplay between inner states and external transformations.
We must embrace the recognition of our vulnerability in a way that allows us to accept the natural changes in our mind-body and the mind-bodies around us, acknowledging these transformations as deeply beautiful processes.

Instincts such as rigid thinking, resistance to change, and a focus on superficial appearances may prevent us from realizing the true self. In contrast, cultivating qualities like mindfulness, openness to adjustment, and appreciation for the temporary nature of life can support our pursuit of peace and harmony.

Ultimately, we are all flesh-flowers rooted in the constantly shifting soil of existence, individual threads of a great tapestry.
