REturn to Wonder

2019 Commissioned by Diana Matoso | London UK

REturn is a way back to where it once was, a previous place, state or condition, but if every turn of the way is different, it is only wise to expect that each return will be so too. We never go back as we were because we accumulate experience and life happens in such ways that it is impossible not to be transformed by it.

We are made of the same water that runs in the rivers, the same earth below our feet and even the same dust from far away stars. We are shaped by sun cycles, moon phases, seasons of the year, ocean tides... We are moved by unseen currents pulled by infinite polarities stretching from within all the way out to space.

It represents the ambiguity of our times and aims to challenge us to envision a transforma-tion that for long is calling upon us all.

Constant Change Returning implies a sort of going back, mean- ing something was once, then it wasn’t and then it was again. Of course, we know how impossible it is to go back to anything as we keep evolving and nothing really get back to what once was because everything is always changing.

Returning Cycles Cycles are not circles but rather spirals, that’s why we’re never here again and that is the im- portance of Now. All works in cycles and these are a return in a way with an inherent duality in occurrences and perspectives.  Some are short, others very long, there are cy-cles within cycles and I came to believe they’re kind of cosmic clocks.

Self Duality It all emerges from connecting with our own breath, understanding our inner cycles, danc-ing to our own rhythms so we can then tune with what resonates best with us, knowing that even that will change but fully trusting in the way.

Wild Love We can experience this singularity when and only when we’re feeling love. When we are taken by rage or fear we always feel the op-posite and create a wall separating us. Love is the spice of life holding us together to the natural world and the source of life itself.
