Concept of my crystal world
The unyielding pursuit of technological advancement has exacted a significant toll on our planet, leaving in its wake widespread devastation and the sobering realization of climate change. In response, I have been moved to ponder the notion of aligning human endeavors with the natural world, rather than opposing them.
As an artist who weaves daily yoga and crystal meditation practices into my routine, I have come to deeply appreciate the intricate beauty of sacred geometry and the transformative power of the subtle vibrations found in natural forms. To achieve balance in this modern world, we need a new ecosystem that helps us discover the inherent beauty in life's patterns, even amidst the pressures and difficulties of daily existence. By observing the powerful geometry inherent in chaos and attuning ourselves to the inspiring structures found in the world around us, we can strive to achieve the golden mean, avoiding the pitfalls of past mistakes driven by greed and promoting sustainable growth and harmony with the natural world.
In this virtual reality art experience, the relationship between humans and crystals holds the key to achieving balance. Crystals have long been recognized for their innate energetic properties and their ability to enhance physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Clear crystals not only bring joy and beauty, but they also reflect and light up our inner shadows. In a crystal garden embedded in the modern city, viewers are invited to dance with crystal fairies and perform yoga postures that unlock the magic of nature to illuminate and bring sustainable energy to the planet. Inspired by sacred geometries, the yoga postures themselves are designed to facilitate a deeper understanding of the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. As the viewer moves through the garden, they are able to experience the unique energy of each crystal and understand its role in the ecosystem.
By developing a deeper understanding of the symbiotic relationship between crystals and humans, we unlock the full potential of these remarkable natural resources and leverage them to support personal and planetary transformation.
