The idea behind the film came from the Subject ” cyclic of life”.
The first Circle is where we are now. We are born to live out our mortal lives here.During our life we go through different circles.
We grow up and emerging, but remain connected to the center of gravity on the Earth.Our Roots are connected to our mother land, and we will always continue to grow in a different circle of life, childhood, youth, adults, elderly And in the end- death.
Any act of our personal circle of life affects on the other circles of life.
Remember that you are responsible for what you put in your circle, and that your circle will touch many other circles. You will need to live in a way that allows the good that comes from your circle to send the peace of that goodness to others. The splash that comes from anger or jealousy will send those feelings to other circles - You are responsible for both.
We must remember that life changing frequently
We must be flexible and learn to live with these changes.
My VIDEO ART Built from digital 3d drawing images that I was painting on the computer and adding movement and film effects.
The Video art Duration 3:25 min.

My works and video arts are similar to mental puzzles, where you can travel from one point to another by analyzing a picture’s symbolic objects. there is always something for the observer to discover.
I never force my vision or push my philosophical opinion on the viewers, each and every one, can give theirs philosophy to my creation.
My art is surreal reality, all in my head. The viewer take a journey to places just as real as those you might find in this reality.

When I start working on a new scene, it's like enter to a fantasy dream.
like starting your new only virtual world. “Everything is possible” and in
the majority of my works I am trying to combine visual realities, with subconscious emotions and philosophical thoughts.
I create my virtual world, with 3d software and 2d paint software. Using combinations of renderings, lightings, textures and shapes.

Computers don’t make art, people do. Computers are creative tools much sophisticated ones. It’s a fresh creative tool of a new generation.

Deepak Chopra outlined three components of the illusion of materialism. First is acceptance. This is total and complete. One accepts people, circumstances, situations, and events. That is the result of the illumination of all the moments experienced in the past. Second is responsibility. Do not blame others for your situation. Behind the meaning of all events there is a hidden meaning of serving your own evolution. One must have a creative response to a situation. All problems contain the seed of opportunity and this awareness allows you to take the moment and transform it into a better situation. Every upsetting situation can become an opportunity for the creation of something new. Tormentor and tyrant become teachers. Third is defenselessness. Your awareness is established in defenselessness. Relinquish the need to defend your point of view; you will gain access to an enormous amount of energy that has been previously wasted. If you force a situation, the resistance will only increase. Don’t stay rigid like a tall oak; be flexible like a reed that bends with the storm and survives.

My piece that I propose for the nybianual is titled “Eternal Forms.” It is a polieptico, mixed-media piece of acrylic and ink on paper and wood. It is a series of square paintings that can be installed in any shape or size. There are infinite possibilities of how it is installed or displayed, like an eternal form. It is to be enjoyed as a creative response to the moment. The space has to do with the dividing line between reality and unreality, angels and demons. It is a subjective idealism mixed with metaphysics.

Fengshui

The main concept of fengshui is qi; the breath of cosmos, cosmic spirit or energy. Qi creates and maintains life. Qi can be found in space, earth and in all the living creatures.
Qi can be understood literally as well; as a character it means a gas-like substance, for example water vapour.

Is it possible to have deeper substance in photography by following fengshui principles? Can images be richer, wiser, healthier, happier by following fengshui? How to capture qi? How could I put these five elements into practise while taking pictures? How about fengshui’s important cardinal points? Should I follow them during my picture-taking?
In traditional Chinese cosmology the universe was described as a living organism, which consisted of three layers; heavenly supernatural world, earthly natural world and the society of humans.
A person had to cherish the balance between heaven and earth, so the unity could function in a best possible way.
...In my point of wiev...also in photography...

Hannu Palosuo

Title: Only love is incorruptible

“I long for the land that is not

for all that is, I weary of desiring.

The moon is telling me in silvern runes

of the land that is not,

the land where all our wishes are wondrously fulfilled,

the land where all our shackles fall,

the land where our bleeding forehead cools

in the dew of the moon.

My life was a burning illusion.

But one thing I found and one thing I really gained –

the road to the land that is not.

In the land that is not

there walks my beloved with a glittering crown.

Who is my beloved? The night is dark

and the stars quiver in answer.

Who is my beloved? What is his name?

The heaven arch higher and higher

and human being is drowned in endless mist

and knows no answer.

But a human being is nothing but certainty.

And it stretches its arms higher than all heavens.

And there comes an answer:

I am the one you love and will always love.”

Edith Södergran “The land that is not”

(Translation by Martin Allwood)

I find many similarities between the above poem and my research – the harmony, that particular pace. Södergran's question "who is the beloved one, what is his name?" resounds throughout my works. In my painting, time after time I’m looking back to the person I love and have loved; the object of love may change, not the intensity. This attempt appears like the final, essential consequence of my trip through symbolic rooms, spaces marked by silence, where light is diffused like a stream without origin and where shadows no longer lengthen, defining a space touched by metaphysical echoes, but remain immobile on the ground like the last, fragile vestige of a distant past.

I’m trying to lose the exact connotation of my objects and move towards a different dimension, towards frequencies of entire symbolic, allusive aggregate shifts, my ceaseless game of returning to a human time that seems to have just come to a halt, to a presence that seems to have vanished just before grasping the last signs enclosed in the trivial, necessary objects in my daily life.

Luisa Fabris

Title: INVADIMI SE VUOI

Some symbols have a transcendent meaning in every culture and they art found in expressions of art, religions and so on. Fire and water are commonly accepted as universal symbols.

With the action of burning and like the sun, fire takes the matter and transforms it in light and heat: it is, like water, a symbol of transformation and regeneration. It has the power and the vitality of the sun and, as the sun, the men could control and use it to destroy the darkness in the night.

It needs to be continuously feed, so there is a parallel between fire and life, pointing out that both must feed upon other lives in order to keep alive.

It has a fascinating endless movement that don't respond to the gravity law and his action could be unpreventable and dangerous.

It embraces both good (light-true, vital heat-love) and bad (destruction), because to exist it pretends a sacrificial action (the burning of matter). Fire representing both physical energy (eroticism, solar heat) but also spiritual energy (purification, sublimation).

It brings the material things to their end toward to new immaterial state, so is also related to ultra-life. To pass through fire is symbolic of transcending the human condition

Water is the cradle of the life and everywhere there is water there is life. Fire need to be feed to keep alive, vice versa water sustains the life. On the other hand, also water is a symbol of purification but without destroying. It is a passive element, not powerlessness, that has the capability of adaptability and fluidity. So it could be seen as a feminine principle that it adapts itself to the new life , housing it.

But the water, subject to the power of the gravity, could be violent and explosive that “blows away” everything that it meets.

At the end water and fire are symbols of rites of passage and purification, a cosmic dualism of life and ultra-life.

In the artwork water, the life, sustains the fire, the ultra-life, both with own proper movement. They are complementaries aspects that need each others to exit. Circular concentric “hugs” around the fire symbolizes this and the perfection of the universe, perceptible and transcendent. In the darkness of the night, the flame brings light and the water, as a irregular and not stationary mirror, playing with the colourful reflections.

God, Who for the salvation of the human race has built your greatest mysteries upon this substance, in your kindness hear our prayers and pour down the power of your blessing into this element, prepared by many purifications. May this your creation be a vessel of divine grace to dispel demons and sicknesses, so that everything that it is sprinkled on in the homes and buildings of the faithful will be rid of all unclean and harmful things. Let no pestilent spirit, no corrupting atmosphere, remain in those places: may all the schemes of the hidden enemy be dispelled. Let whatever might trouble the safety and peace of those who live here be put to flight by this water, so that health, gotten by calling Your holy name, may be made secure against all attacks. Through the Lord, amen.
