HELIX / MURAL
Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Earlier this year i painted this panel at the headquarter of Keep it Fresh projects.
The helix is a symbol of resilience and the age-old intuitive symbol of spiritual development and our identity with the universe. It is found throughout nature. We find the helix in galaxies and weather patterns and in every living organism’s DNA.
Many plants become a helix in order to pass through environmental challenges and explore more of their environment. When a plant root comes across a barrier during its growth, it summons even more energy, flexibility, and work to create a helix. When faced with a challenge, the root’s response is to find a way. It does so by twisting and turning into a tightly woven formation of the helix, thereby conquering the darkness under the ground to reach the light and bloom creating beauty and stability.
This painting depic the ability to withstand, adapt and grow in the face of adversity in life but also in a spiritual sense, the spiral progression is symbolic of the transpersonal route to that higher level of consciousness point to dynamic growth and metamorphosis.
