Splints from the Tree of the Life

by Yavor Ichkov

the exhibition will be on display until 09 March

SPLINTS FROM THE TREE OF THE LIFE

The tree is a symbol. Of life. And life has meaning only in continuation – by next generation or after death. In fruit or wood, respectively. Hardly a particle is resurrected out of the universal forest – splints from the Tree of Life. Like paper leaves unthreatened by autumn.Peering into the tree, live in nature, as well as contemplating of creatively enlivened wood, brings aesthetic effect. The act of the Creator shines through in both. Planting a tree is a way of seeing life, like bringing relic splints and books at the home altar. A female image is invariably present on each of the splints – the source of life, yet not its cause. And the Spirit, invisibly, aids the souls. While anticipating another incarnation. With incessant vigilance from beyond above infants and life-long inward enlightments. Through taming passions till attaining wisdom. Revealed on a leaf or a splint from the Tree of Life, each work springs up as the Tree of Knowledge. And the two saplings, seen only in Heaven – the place of the creation and blissful sojourn – suggest, in their presence, creative comfort to the author and aesthetic one to the beholder.
