What we think we become

Forms of Nothingness

These are 2 empty glass forms (Form 1.1 and Form 1.2). They are 10x10 cm, made of glass. They contain nothing inside. This particular nothingness consists of the air from a Buddhist meditation center in the Himalayas.

The forms were opened and placed in rooms, where students meditate and raise their sense of awareness and being. After a while, the forms were sent back to Europe. They were sealed with a rock representing the prehistoric force that can break anything — besides the concepts we hold in our minds.

The Buddhists believe that everything around us is empty of existence (Śūnyatā). What we call a “reality” is a concept constructed by our minds, our mental formations (Māyā).
