Growth and decay

The metaphor of the phoenix – it relates to the cycle of growth and decay: transience harbors birth, birth carries within it the roots of decay, death leads to resurrection as a new dimension of existence. The end and new beginning merge into a transformation point. Its energetic quality transcends boundaries.

Life situations – even those which appear desperate or destructive – harbor the seeds of a new, more fulfilled life opportunity, of inner growth, from which visions can unfurl, even externally. However, even this is made relative in the wider context of life as just a different way of looking at a whole: like a tree observed from different sides, various shapes emerge which nevertheless refer to the same substance. The observer never perceives the various sides simultaneously. He nevertheless observes the tree as a whole. The composition technique reflects this view.

Thus in the images of the Video Visiography "Im Lied des Phoenix", destructive and decaying elements are linked with newly forming beauty and love as ultimately inseparable.
