Alicja Kwades "Matter-Mind" is a composition that intertwines a substantial boulder and a bronze staircase. On one of the steps, a galvanized lily lies as a poignant representation of something that once existed but has now ceased to be. The stairs serve as a space of transition where life, presence, decay, and eternity seem to merge seamlessly. This paradoxical interplay evokes a unique dimension that simultaneously beckons different realities, prompting contemplation on the transient and eternal facets of life. It invites reflection on the interconnected relationship between the physical realm (matter) and our perceptions, thoughts, and memories (mind), highlighting their mutual influence.
