An audio-visual human–nature reflection – a poetic still life/lives – san! sēja / a phonetic play on the names of the place and the festival +

‘san’ – in Turkish: “you are”; in Japanese culture/language, san is part of keijo – the system of politeness; san is used after a personal name to show respect.

‘sēja’ – a seed, a thought/idea.

How?!

How do we see and feel, how do we perceive life and relationships through the human–nature frame?

The place and space are the same, but… each of our processes and experiences refer to different, diverging positions, directions, perspectives.

san! sēja is a non-existent place in space.

san! sēja is a state of presence, of awareness. Through deep listening and immersion — inclusive, engaging, all-encompassing, alive, generating presence, enveloping, sensorily rich, saturating with sensations, submerging — a path unfolds… a path toward relationship, which one is tempted to replace with the word being — both chaotic and utterly calm, both changing and flowing, moving up and down and outward in all other directions — x, y, z, toward multibeaming sides. There we encounter the essential core of existence: harmony — concord, balance, belonging.

As its foundation emerges
the process, the state of being, when the body intertwines with the heart, and you, almost involuntarily, detach from the mind and draw closer to your Self, as an approach toward spirit.

The triangle.
