BISMUTH PRINT 

Ascending stairway geometries alike these Bismuth formations remind me of a daydream I had while chanting for the first time the Buddhist mantra “Nam Myoho Renghe Kyo”: I saw myself climbing a rainbow spiral, in the shape of the DNA. I sensed that at the core of my encoded genetically information a change has taken place.I believe it is possible to surpass today’s limitations of the current consciousness of illness and even death as well as to transform conflicts and negativity into a harmonious way of living together, by elevating consciousness. 

I felt inspired by the book “The life of the masters” by Spalding, in which he describes the life of ascended masters living among common people in Tibet, having attained a certain degree of consciousness. This enabled them to live a simple life of manifesting whatever they needed, offering their help and compassion, and sharing teachings of living from the heart. As I believe in the unlimited human potential, I think this ideal can be attained, and I hope to inspire with my prints and stories. By wearing the printed dresses and kimonos there is a conscious and subconscious connection established by the wearer to the images, the stones and the ideas behind them.

HEMATITE PSYCHEDELICAL PRINT ON VISCOSE 

The broken glass hematite, photographed in a different light, shows off its rainbow colored sparkles of transformation. Attaining a rainbow body in Buddhist Tibetan tradition is a level of realization, the ultimate form of gaining complete knowledge as well as self liberation.  

It is said that the monks having reached the rainbow body practically disappear after death, defying all laws of nature. These monks live a simple life, but show faithfulness to their vows, compassion and mindfulness. 

Rays of pure light are said to radiate from their bodies and there are rainbows appearing after their death. When someone engages in personal transformation, divine gifts are unveiled every day, just by looking closer to the reality, being present and thankful, as well as connected to itself and to the environment. 

The Kimono carrying this print shows the hidden potential for everyone to attain a so called “rainbow body”, in being compassionate, mindful and leading a truthful life.

BARITE PRINT ON SILK

The barite mine looked like Swiss cheese, it was an enormous labyrinth. We`ve spent quite some time trying to cut out some stones by ourselves, but our guide decided to take us even deeper into one gallery. We`ve met a guy, who occupied only by his shoulders the whole gallery. It was the village`s teacher, who worked on weekends and, he handed me over this marvelous barite stone.

Spending some time as well within the galleries for myself, a wonderland, I felt like aligning a smaller clock to a greater one while time stood still.When observing the stone, some questions come to mind about the harmony of how they organize, is there a blueprint for this particular formation? 

A possible answer can be given by the scientist Ruppert Sheldrake who describes in his books self-organizing systems, minerals included, which follow an unseen morphic field. Barite is a stone which absorbs electromagnetic waves and which showed itself quite useful for me during meditation or when placed on the body, it absorbs fears and negativity.

The barite print dress is the connection to this intrinsic intelligence of Gaia, creating the morphic fields, materialized as minerals.

AZURIT/MALACHIT PRINT ON VISCOSE

Most various and interesting minerals are created inside the earth, revealing different patterns, mostly of fractal nature, sustained by morphogenetic fields. I aimed for my crystal prints to come from a place of authenticity, which always leads to the heart. To open my own heart, I reached to the crystals within the heart of Gaia, literally by taking this trip to the mines in Morocco last year, 2018.

It was an impressing view to see this arid landscape with stones colored in green in vivid blue. The Azurit mine near Mibladen was abandoned and it looked like someone has cracked open earth`s blue belly and turned out everything inside. There were some huge magnificent blue and green (Malachit) stones and I just walked around and felt peaceful in their presence. 

 This Azurit/ Malachit stone I have used for my print looks as well like a landscape seen from above. Earth has so many faces, but when she`s revealing her beauty within such vivid colors, she`s showing her alchemist talents at her best. This printed dress connects us to earth`s heartbeat and her miracle making laboratory.

AURA CRYSTAL QUARTZ PRINT ON SILK

Temples are holy spaces allowing to reach for the infinite self. Sometimes there is a sound technology built in, which helps the brainwaves to harmonize and to enter a different reality space-time continuum. 

Most temples, stone alignments or churches are built on places where lay lines cross.  Because these are special places where the skins of the worlds “touch” each other, a different reality is most susceptible of being experienced by gazing trough these portals of earth energy.

These complexes of mostly ancient temples are oftentimes mirroring star alignments, “as above so below” -Hermes Trismegistus. By establishing a connection to them, the observer is revealed in a conscious or unconscious manner, its place in the universe. 

Throughout the years I was always attracted by sacred places and spaces and I traveled to see them and to sense their energy. While living in France, I have visited multiple times the stone alignments of Carnac, as well as Mont St. Michel or the cathedral in Chartres. Last year I made a dream come true by visiting temples and pyramids in Egypt (Karnak and Luxor ), as well as various temples in Malta. Its temples are considered to be the oldest in Europe, revealing traces of one of the most ancient and sophisticated civilizations, considering for example the the Hypogeum`s advanced sound technology.

The image of the aura crystal quartz makes me think of a natural formation cathedral, or the “axis mundi”, meant to unify earth and sky. The dress printed with this image is a reminder of manifesting the highest potential while finding a true connection within the sacred space of the heart.

HEMATITE PRINT ON SILK

The sense of joy was like a solid rock inside myself, even though not always visible, but at all time available to me. This certainty of oneness I experienced stays forever with me.There are oftentimes filters through our lenses when looking at life. These are related to our conceptions or emotions and there are moments of truth when they disappear and things reveal themselves as they are. 

These lenses are also related to a sort of collective programming, which is undeniable and it`s difficult to avoid its influence on the day-to-day basis. In order not to get caught inside, I rely on my inner rock of truth while finding my center, aspiring to follow the values of my heart end soul. 

I have found the mirror hematite in Morocco, in a remote mine close to the Sahara desert. It was shining like a jewel on a dusty table within the mine, somehow waiting for me in the middle of all these other rocks. 

Its natural formation reflects like a broken glass the image of the beholder and it so reminds me of the multitude of facets in life and of the choice of the perspective to adopt, always available to each of us. The silk dress printed with this image can be a reminder to always carry the right values and to stay as invincible as a rock in life.

BISMUTH CALEIDOSCOPE PRINT ON VISCOSE

Nothing around me actually changed, just my vision was so different that I experienced everything from another perspective. I felt I could see beyond the superficial layers, beyond matter, the intrinsic light shining within all things.

All senses were attained by this experience and again complex geometries sometimes appeared before my eyes, similar to these rainbow formations of kaleidoscopic flowers, as if petals of my heart opened, changing my perception of inner and outer world. 

When light reveals itself from inside the matter, resistance to unity consciousness disappears.Being happy without a reason, I lately experienced as short sequences while mediating, but never as a full sequence of time lasting over hours or days. 

The design of this print is relevant to my perception within this experience. It expresses a sense of joy and inner freedom, allowing those who wear it to shine their light into the world.

FLORIT PRINT ON SILK

After having experienced the darkest moments, acknowledging my demons set me finally free.Sleep deprivation, fear, despair have accompanied me during the last few weeks, so now that I have freed myself, I ended up experiencing intense joy. 

This feeling was not comparable to any other before or after; it was unique and lasted a few days. Like an opening flower, reality unfolded in a magical way and I fell in love with the world around me. Somehow my attention capacity was enhanced, enabling me to experience reality more vividly, also by living in the present time, without my inner ego voice interfering all the time. 

Like a sun from the inside, my heart connected naturally to all animated or unanimated things in proximity, enabling a peaceful feeling of interconnection and empathy. The florit I bought in Mibladen, Morocco was used to create this print on a dress.  

Its soft range of pink and violet colors are sustained by a transparent opaque matter of natural grown cubic shapes. Perfection is oftentimes encountered in nature, but sometimes not acknowledged, since our minds are not always open to recognize beauty. Choosing to wear this unique pattern will bring more awareness and heart connection to ones who wear it, but also to their environment.

SILICAT CARBIDE PRINT ON VISCOSE

During the following nights I have experienced strange events, other realities, as if the skin between worlds was thin. A fear of the unknown dominated me and I suppose this was the reason I was visited by night, every night, by strange creatures of lower realms. They had different forms and shapes, mostly snakes or phantastic animals, similar to Hieronimus Bosch`s paintings.

I experienced sleep deprivation for about 4 weeks, as I figured out the only way to stay away from these creatures was to stay awake. Finally I prayed and asked for help from higher realms. One night, while lying in bed, almost asleep, I encountered a blue fierily light with beautiful human features. Within seconds my aura was cleansed by its fire and I felt much lighter.

Actually I knew it`s not part of the material reality, but it felt so real as it could be. Thinking of Dante Alligeri`s “Inferno”, made me realize, there are maybe other people having experienced these different ”realities” under certain conditions. The collective consciousness gathers these places and beings, so that we as humans have often times similar experiences. 

The law of attraction made me realize, these monsters could be my own.  Does not hatred, envy, anger, sorrow, fear transform into beings, living inside myself once I have adopted them? The most difficult is to admit one`s own demons, as the Ego denies them. I decided to face them and I have looked them in the eye. Surprisingly they disappeared, on by one.

This print of silicat carbide shows the range of beautiful colors within the black rough mineral. It can be seen as an analogy to all the great potential that hides inside darkest moments when cracking open the shell of ignorance.

Another night arrived and I knew I`m experiencing again sleep paralysis.  Suddenly I have sensed the appearance of 4 strange small beings around myself and I knew them to be somehow a reflection of my fears. It felt cold and I sensed a metal taste, quite unpleasant. This time again, something like a body technology was activated, also related to the lower spinal cord. Information seemed to travel the way up, something heavy, like thousands of watts being pushed trough an invisible cable. This felt totally wrong and I thought I`m lost, as there was no possibility to protest or interact. My husband was lying next to me, so my first thought was to hope for him not to get involved. This spark of love changed actually everything, making the previous setting disappear like a nightmare, dissolving into nothing. I opened my eyes but continued to see intricate kaleidoscopic patterns, appearing like a blueprint of reality. Later I have read Graham Hancocks book Supernatural, where I have found out I was not alone to experience a different reality. These experiences can happen naturally under certain conditions and a predisposition or can be induced by drugs as DMT in different forms – Ayahuaska being the most common one. 

DMT, Dimethyltryptamin is manufactured within the pineal gland, that tiny cone shaped organ, considered as well to be the third eye. The pineal gland is as well considered to be a portal opening the way to other dimensions. Mostly shamans make use of these substances to get in touch with the spirits of nature, to obtain important information for the community.  

This kaleidoscopic print I have used for shirtdresses in combination with black silk is an analogy for opening one`s consciousness to complex geometries underneath the visible reality.
