When I loose sense of who I am, ,
I take a pencil and a paper, a camera or a piece of clay. Sometimes nothing happens. Sometimes I find myself in a kaleidoscope of ever-changing rythms, symbols, colors, forms, lines, patterns and textures woven in a fabric of life where nothing is separate and yet every object encompasses and represents all life in itself. Sometimes I see invisible worlds, hear whisper of the stones, play with shadows or find wonder in a seemingly mundane moment and a perfect aesthetic in a rotten log.
The name of the project mauna means "mountain" in Hawaiian, "silence" in Sanskrit and is name of a genus of moth. Meaning, sound and shape of this word reflect stillness, simplicity, beauty and diversity of the world that I aspire to express here through writing and visual art.
