Review:
The path of simplicity is undoubtedly the path to happiness. The path of truth is undoubtedly the path to self-knowledge. And self-knowledge free from prejudices and rigid opinions is the path to Life.
This work in particular talks about detachment, talks about humility, draws our attention to the simplest everyday things. In the work as a whole, we can notice the artist's desire to describe, behind images, the love of those who are surrendered to the universe, of those who seek personal fulfillment in everything they experience, from the simplest things to the complex things of everyday life. Using John Lennon's music, the artist talks about the dream of a world where people can sleepily be people, human beings who know their own nature; it speaks of a better world that would certainly be confirmed if the educational system in each and every institution emphasized honest and true self-knowledge.
