”Photonic Orb” explores the real scientific concept in Photonics of higher order patterns that light may form inside regions of space. These orbitals have more variety in shape than electronic[ic] orbitals, and they are highly tunable, meaning that they can enable breakthroughs in advanced technologies such as quantum. These orbitals frontiers are expressed in the artwork, as a lattice. The piece is an arrangement of original photographs of light shapes and behavior, a source of endless fascination for me, of how light and geometry intersect, and the insights that reveals.
”God Is Apex Benevolence” is the geometric expression with an upward triangle, of a feeling, using the components of nature and technology. In a tropical garden the eyes of the Sun stream through the branches, as the divine light of consciousness, and the results are provision and growth. The light beams allude to such technologies as neon and laser, at their source biomimicries, and marvelous ones at that. This is definitely continuing on a theme of biosynergy, and I think in order to achieve that positive future vision, it is very important to steer the narrative.
”Consciousness Core” is a further exploration of the seen and unseen world of light in which we live and are composed of. The brilliant Nikola Tesla once said: “My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists.”
My interpretation differs in that I believe we are receivers and projections, a reflection of the evolution of modern consciousness. In my opinion, Tesla was unable to access that core consciousness because he was also engaged in the invention of destructive devices, a couple potentially catastrophic and threatening to consciousness, in addition to his other amazing, legendary and productive work. Ergo, the heart of the cosmos gatekept him from its secrets.
Further on the theme of light and splendor, I have added a mantra to my mornings. The Gayatri Mantra lyrics in Sanskrit transliteration are Om Bhur Bhuvah Swaha, Tat Savitur Varenyam, Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi, Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat.
Mantra Lyrics
- Aum / Om (The primordial sound)
- Bhūr Bhuvaḥ Svaḥ (The physical, mental, and spiritual realms)
- Tat Savitur Varenyam (That divine light of the sun, worthy of worship)
- Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi (We meditate upon that supreme divine splendor)
- Dhiyo Yo Naḥ Prachodayāt (May that light inspire and illumine our intellect)
