Veritas Lux Mea
The unending pursuit of truth is the topic progressing throughout this 7 part floating artwork series; Veritas Lux Mea meaning ‘the truth is my light’ in Latin. The nature of the word ‘truth’ implies a universality, yet upon reflection what comes to light is that each person’s truth is deeply personal. What every individual believes and holds close to them during their life, becomes their unique evolving perspective. And as consciousness develops in humans and time perpetually moves on, truth never stands in one place.

What is it like looking at a red circle? Qualia is the perceived sensation of an experience, like the taste of red wine, the sound of a piano, or the warm hue of a sunset. The qualia of each experience are what distinguishes one from another and gives each its characteristic feel.

Closely linked to those around them, each person has their own knowledge, values and beliefs. Combined this creates a greater societal representation of what is perceived to be true, which grows and develops as perception gradually morphs into new ways of thinking.
Symbiosis

Life is filled with a distinguished depth of symbiosis. Many hands often touched the apple before it landed in yours, bees pollinated its flower, and fungi ensured rich soil for the tree to grow. These invisible ties move together, like a murmuration in the sky.
