To mirror oneself
Sunday April 16 2023
only between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM
The current examples in which to mirror oneself seem to be far from those depicted in the vauls of the Attilio Regolo Room, but we have in common with the ancients the need for the same individual growth path to be followed. According to Carl Jung, the hero's journey is a process of inner evolution. An individuation process that requires overcoming many tests and different stages in which archetypes are activated that help us explore new realities. The hero's journey is a quest that requires a phase of detachment from the world, a detachment from the known to travel across the loneliness and then find yourself as an individual. Only having identified oneself can a return to the world take place, enriched with gifts to share with others. To find ourselves we must isolate ourselves and mirror ourselves to recognize our true nature, our true self, our shape, our color, our energy, the connection with other shapes, colors, energies, images present in history and in the actuality. In this sense, each piece of art is an exemplum as it allows the reflection of one or more parts of oneslf, personal and universal.

"The ambition of art to be recognized as a true and real presence is masked in the secret of the reflection." Donata Negrini
