Short description in english:
A digital work on energy and four main elements(earth,water,fire and air)
We're all "energy maps".
Description in english:
This digital artwork invites to navigate the four energies which have been considered since Ancient Times as the main and essential ones: earth,fire,water and air.
The concept of such energies was analyzed by Greek (Tales , Anaxímenes, Heraclito, Aristoteles) .Throughout time Astrology has analyzed a person's natal chart as a "map of energies" ,a "mandala"(circular shape found in several civilizations,religions and aesthetic expressions) according to Jung's statements.
Each element can be associated to different energies but they hardly ever present themselves in a pure state but combine and interact in an infinite way at individual level but also through collective unconscious expressions.
Description in native language:
La obra consiste en navegar las 4 energías consideradas desde la Antigüedad como las fundamentales: la tierra,el fuego,el agua,el aire.
El concepto fue tomado por los griegos (Tales , Anaxímenes, Heráclito, Aristóteles) .A través de los siglos la astrología analiza la carta natal de una persona como un “mapa de energías”,un “mandala” en términos de Jung.
Cada elemento se asocia a energías disímiles pero tambien ellas nunca se dan en estado puro sino que se combinan e interactúan infinitamente y se manifiestan a nivel individual y también a nivel del inconsciente colectivo.
