The United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) launched its Photographic Exhibition and Film showcasing eight victims of terrorism from across the globe sharing intimate memories and personal meanings tied to physical objects they hold dear. The launch happened as the United Nations holds the High-Level International Conference on Human Rights, Civil Society and Counter-Terrorism in Malaga, Spain, from the 10-11 May 2022. The initiative has been created by the Victims of Terrorism Support Programme of the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) in an effort to shine a light on the experiences of victims of terrorism and to intricately weave these personal experiences into society’s collective history.
“Contemplative Photography: Meditations in the Woods”
I am having a photography exhibition at the Levi Heywood Memorial Library, 55 West Lynde St., Gardner, MA. The exhibition will run from March 1st until March 29, 2024.
Artist's Statement:
Instructions for living a life:
Pay attention
Be astonished
Tell about it
Mary Oliver “Sometimes”
Mary Oliver’s instructions above have become the guiding principles for my photography. Photography has gained importance in my life since it has become a spiritual practice. I try to spend time in nature on a regular basis. It is a time for meditation and a time to clear my thoughts. With a quiet mind I wait to see what calls to me, what “shimmers”. Then I try to capture the subject in a personal, intimate, and emotional way. I am not interested in simply documenting the world, but trying to reveal something essential about myself and the world around me.
If I have been successful, some of these images will touch you, make you feel something of the beauty, astonishment, and wonder I felt during the time I spent creating them.
Each image is accompanied by a Haiku poem, written to express in a few simple words the connection and feelings that I experienced at the time I made the photograph.
I hope you enjoy the time you spend with these images and their invitation to journey inward, enjoy some serenity, and see the world with fresh eyes.
I am back in orbit and hope to return soon. I had to close a cycle and pass some space oddities, but hopefully I will find the chance to be here more frequently again.
Missed you and miss you. Thanks for all the likes, reblogs and messages. You kept my blog alive and vivid. So grateful. Thanks a ton. Looking forward to dive into your imagination and inspiration again soon.
Sending a tight hug and lots of love to all of you.
Have a wonderful weekend. In those times of separation it´s time to come together.
