We often forget to perceive the beauty and wonders around us. We have forgotten to be quiet and to be ourselves, where life is. When we shift our attention to a feather, nut, or plant, this does not mean that we are thinking about it, but that we are watching and observing it and being aware of our own being and their being. You become part of nature, and identity yourself with it; and your surroundings become part of you. This is the moment when time stops, in which everything becomes abstract and your thoughts cannot understand. This is a feeling higher than thinking.They are there, the real presence forever.
Sona Sahakian (1996) is a visual artist based in the Hague, the Netherlands. She graduated from the department Fine Arts at the Royal Academy of the Arts , The Hague. Her works consist of paintings, drawings, collages, photographs , installations and films (video art). In recent years she has participated in various groups exhibitions and projects.
Her works are about the search for an inner experience of time, where memories are made experienceable in the shape of fixation and transformation. She strives for a fusion of past and present , which creates a dynamic and timeless dimension. The transience, the cycle of human existence – life, death and rebirth – plays an important role in this; this transforms our reality and strengthens our human consciousness. In her art she wants to stimulate people’s imagination and sensory experiences in which the traces of the past are revived in the present, which remains anchored in her memory and thus enriches her personal history. In this way she wants to inspire people to make an inner journey by really feeling and discovering for themselves what the treasury of their existence is.
