Meditated Voyage Alexandra Kurek
Thesis Exploration_2015
Consent of solitude is unknown within the confines of chaos Sought patience burdens a restless mind fixating an evolving sky Controlled consistency originates attentive curiosity of escape Delicate steel disables visual interactions enlisting desired reprieve Veiled sereneness rests firmly within the discovered moments of choice The depths of marked earth bare a weighted calm within a fixed hysteria Ironic gestures of unmasked stone engage a meditative control Dense rigidity cleanses the disillusion of expanded physical perspectives While proposed filtrations of light greet exposed walls with warm relief Designed contrast evokes contemplative perceptions exposed to body Thirty feet below modest murmurs echo against concrete patterns As potent scents fill the lungs with a thin layer of stained earth Chills of rushing wind enmeshes the knowledgeably subtracted form As architectural tension dances to the persistent hums of movement Premeditated control evokes subtle intuitions sensationally enlightened Sixty feet below circumstantial relief battles turmoil of visual knowledge A /grave/ heartbeat contained within the depth is the release of chaos Consent of solitude is known within the extension of relief

Closed eyes Breathe In Pause Out Pause In Out Fixate, Sense, Understand Opened eyes
Forward to a Cold tension of the Encompassing search
A grounded constraint of a choice of a reveal
The visual ideal
A patterned procession towards an arbitrary arrival
leading to confined expectations
An unrelenting tense grip with two hands A pull and ascension Guided horizons Enlightened focus Spatial tolerance Seasonal warmth Shuddering gusts Roaring rumble Outward consciousness
An unrelenting tense grip with two hands A pull and descent Depths of self Transfixing sensations and prohibiting mind Shivering darkness Warmth of the breath Deafening Silence Rhythm of a heartbeat
Discard expectation Breathe Relax React Don’t think
Perform a journey as lifting the body
Retrace
Discover reprieve as weary eyes unveil subtle distinctions of enlightened earth
A momentary serene before a body exceeds expectations of curiosity

Harmonizing the body of a Bridging existence through the Dancing tension of a Compressing speed

Act, React, But never try
The forceful release of the body’s carried awareness
