The secret whisper of the gods. Scandinavian runes
The word Runa in ancient Scandinavian writings had the meaning — mystery, to whisper secretly. Runic inscriptions were the most diverse content, including appeals to the gods. Runes were carved with the names of artists. At present, runes are used exclusively as mystical symbols for divination. Nevertheless, runes serve as a bridge connecting man with the ancient gods.
Runes have received a magical meaning: a tool of prediction, the impact on reality. A series of collages and photographs re-recognizes the secret through the manifest. The power of magic runes through the image of the Guardian of the ancient whisper. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
The rune Isa — I is one of the most mysterious. Crystal, ice. In the Nordic tradition of ice — one of the creative elements, unity and confrontation with Fire gives birth to the existence of the whole world.
In meaning — the ordered structure of the world. The internal order is constantly disturbed by external forces. This imbalance is the impetus for the action of Isa. The result is the stabilization of the connection with the Guardians. Fire and ice.
Yin and Yang Symbol of Isa in the hands of the keeper, the balance of Yang nature — bright, fiery and Yin — cold. Woman — as an image of the keeper of the world and the balance of subtle forces. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
