Ascension Series (Prologue)

The idea of ascension has become a recurrent topic lately and used as a term for several areas of life. It mainly contains the concept of transfiguration or reaching another "plateau", understanding reality in a higher identification or the connection of the trascendental self into its own realization. In sacred geometry, which contains the constructs of dimentionality, as well as in pagan symbolism coming from diferent cultures in history, ideas of visually developed experiences speak of the relationship of man and nature, man and God or Gods.

The investigation into consciousness through metitation for over 27 years, has been an experience that has motivated me to create images that now maintaining the integrity of representation of physical or material reality, I use for engaging the viewer into a game of the mind, the Ascension Series.
