THALIA GATZOULI

Τhe inevitable failure to understand life birth death past future nature freedom good knowledge absurd me sin repentance god chaos harmony.

What motivates me is the way we sense, appreciate, understand time and space, ourselves and those around us. Our perception is based on our senses as well as on the projections of all those we have experienced and have been recorded in our mind. Is changing endlessly and, for that, is never complete.

I contemplate how our molecules and cells, consisting of the same matter — the elements of nature — create traces that subjected to continuous transformation through our experiences, our thoughts, and our emotions to compose again and again new networks and structures, our own inner world. All these make each one of us unique but never complete, that is, make us humans.
