THE ENLIGHTENED ONE

Kinetic Installation, 2019


Engineer Aleksey Grachev

The Seeker tries to see the Sought-for through the effort of his action. The action results in the unlocking of the Mystery (lotus) where the Seeker stands in front of his reflection in the mirror and understands that he is the Sought-for. Suddenly blinded by a flicker of light from the mirror in which he has just seen his reflection, the Seeker senses that he is the light. A connection with the Light Source takes place through an emotionally blinding flash that annihilates the former illusory personal identity.
