Rise and fall aesthetic.

“Il poeta, bramando di contemplare in ogni cosa il divino e realmente contemplandolo, rinunzia anche al proprio io, ma al contempo coglie l'immanenza del divino nel suo interno così ampliato e liberato. [...] Questo essere penetrati dal divino e questa vita beata e piena di ebbrezza in Dio sfiora già il misticismo”.

— Georg W.F. Hegel, Lezioni di estetica (1835-38)

Works by Marcus Berley

Marcus Berley is a person, poet, and psychotherapist. After his divorce, he moved out to a farm and forest sanctuary, where he rents a small cabin and spends his time cooking, watering the garden, and smoking on the porch while looking out at the pond and surrounding meadow and trees.

I've retreated from life out here on the farm under some…

Hieronymus Bosch: Earthly Pleasures 

Recognized by surrealist painters Dali and Max Ernst as their predecessor exploring the subconscious through art. Bosch’s work provides inspiration for modern day visionary artists, who extract wondrous images from the depths of the subconscious, images seen while altered state of mind (slumber, trance , meditation, entheogenics, ritual).

We see a myriad of bodies marching, congregating, running towards or from some bigger force.
