Garden of Love. Ekatherina S.

Transcription

1 Garden of Love It is my conviction that all of the world s religious beliefs and spiritual teachings have a unified connection. The exhibition Garden of Love is my way of demonstrating this connection by employing the colors of the rainbow reflecting the uniting source of the divine white Light. I believe that the wisdom of the soul instinctively knows how to connect to the Light and the Universe. Many cultures around the world base their symbols on geometric patterns. In this sacred geometry lies the very deep knowledge of the creation of life. Numerology and geometrical shapes such as triangles, squares, and circles are ever present in the traditions of Christians, Muslims, the Jewish, the Chinese, Indians, Egyptians, Incans, Mayans, and others. I have striven to find, in all cultures, Wisdom. I believe that humanity is liberating itself from a long and dark period of separation and is entering a new era of Peace and Unity on Earth. All minerals, plants, animals and people are welcome in the Garden of Love. Together we feel the love and compassion for each other. Everybody is unique and at the same time a part of the universe. My goal is to inspire visitors to find positive energy as well as experience joy and happiness, and Love and Harmony for themselves, family, community, and the entire world. Ekatherina S.
