The new world can only be built of beauty.
Dialogues with the angel E23L-138

celebration of beauty

editorial

natural beauty brings us back to ourselves, refocuses and transcends
artistic beauty elaborates human matter, engaging you in experience
the work is co-creation, it takes place in between, in the space of encounter

Andy Goldworthy, © La Boîte Verte

beauty as a requirement
it requires time, space, full presence (and not discontinuity)

Ludwig van Beethoven, Geister trio (extract from 1st movement) performed by the Wanderer trio

it engages the whole being

   Henri Matisse, graphite

beauty as a holding

something that brings together the scattered parts of oneself and the beings between them
that works the fabric of relationships

  San Marco, Venice, pavements

something that whispers in your ear, that straightens you up and goes deep down to find you

it opens up a space

beauty as resistance to the din, the commonplace, the pre-packaged, the by-product
a haven, a home, a resource

a respite

Cécile McLorin Salvant, Oh my love, John Lennon

beauty as an expression of love
