Man’s thinking is constantly active. One achieves inner silence when the mind is silent. One can be in a quiet room or in the mountains, but if one does not have peace of mind, one will not come into contact with one’s natural mind. The inner silence that is experienced is a dialogue with the invisible world, where one is pulled along to reach a deeper contact with one’s natural mind and body. By opening oneself up, vulnerable and accepting who you are and how you live your life, one reaches into harmony and balance, through which the feeling of trust, the deepest part of our soul and consciousness, are strengthened and enlarged. One’s mind is set free and ends up in the present, where everything is transient and temporary. The inner silence arises when thinking stops and one comes into contact with one’s real self. When one loses contact with oneself, one loses contact with the world and loses oneself in noise. Due to external noise, one loses one’s inner sound and voice.
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.
