what is the human relationship to new beginnings and the unknown? do we dare to venture into realms where we understand and know nothing, in order to move to a new place? is it possible to let go of ourselves to follow the movement needed for change to occur? this raises the question - how do we truly understand a beginning?

throughout history, humans have used various symbols to navigate and interpret the deeper layers of the human soul. the purification ritual, represented by the bath, can symbolize a striving for liberation, while ouroboros, the circle of eternity, stands for cyclical rebirth and transformation. nature, perceived as as both beautiful and life-bearing, invites reflection on our relationship to and understanding of the surrounding world. symbols challenge us to consider to what extent we can shape our own understanding independently of previously ingrained concepts.

purification can be the path to a new beginning, where old narratives are rewritten and new forces are formed, potentially leading to the emergence of a new story within us. can we access our true perception, or will everything we have been taught to understand always shadow us? can curiosity create the possibility of seeking instead of standing still?

can purification create the beginning, can the beginning ever exist?

-

a place where forces are newly formed and a new story can arise in a being

a being constantly influenced by the imprints of its surroundings, but continuously seeking the liberation of its own origin

an origin that is learned from boundaries, but desired to be eternally seeking and free

do we dare to seek the new narratives that will create newfound knowledge and understanding?

do we dare to let openness lead us to answers and let go of the thought of what we already know, to embrace the stories we never acknowledged we did not understand/failed to understand?

do we dare to seek instead of standing still, because we have always learned to stand still?
