nox animae
tears, dust, 2022
During an uncertain period of life, tears have been collected inside a glass petri dish.
Each tear holds onto information and emotion* of a specific moment and memory. The information of those emotions is now trapped inside the salt crystals that appeared after the water of the tears had evaporated. A small universe of multiple starlike structures arised.
nox animae (lat.) stands for The dark night of the soul. An old term that describes a collapse of perceived meaning of one’s life or a deep process of inner change and transformation. A stage of personal development in which a person undergoes a significant and challenging transition to a deeper perception of life.
*emotion = energy in motion
