It is a fact that everything in our world is temporary. Life, one’s body and mind are constantly changing. Death is not only the end of a period, but also the beginning of a new phase in life. Life is endless and infinite, and birth and death are only transitions. Not only human life is perishable, but everything around us. With my work I want to show that nothing in life is permanent. Everything comes and goes, such as the lives of people, animals and plants. Change always occurs, and destruction, devastation and decay lead to a new existence. Thus, life is vulnerable; there is not only destruction, but also a transformation of miraculous forms, substances, microorganisms and natural phenomena. Due to transience, this cycle is endlessly developed and continued in the world.
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.
