Event Description : "We are made of stars" a solo art exhibition by Sabya Sachi Ghosh.
The solo exhibition titled 'We are made of stars' depicts the primordial nature of creation and a creative pictorial depiction of the universe. This exhibition is inspired by the resplendent starry sky on a moonless night. The theme of time travel is also touched upon... the art works in the show tries to bring about a feeling of an unbroken connection with time, since the moment of creation till out present state of its realization.
We are all made of stardust. This statement is very poetic and has a tinge of a primordial nostalgia attached to this feeling. The search for the reasons behind our creation ultimately takes us to the very beginning of time. Rational explanations are then replaced with metaphysical definitions that aim to quench our longing to know the truth behind the creation of our universe. Religion in its own narrow way tries to convey a meaning that is very self oriented in a karmic manner. Are we to believe that the universe exists only for one species i.e humans? I doubt this erroneous thought process that puts primacy of our species over every other being on earth. Don’t we after all share the same elemental building blocks that originated from stars? There is solid science behind this statement: every element on Earth was formed at the heart of a star. We know that stars owe their light to the energy released by nuclear fusion reactions at their cores. These are the very same reactions which created elements; the building blocks which make up the world around us.
When I gaze at stars twinkling in the night sky, I look back in time and realize the insignificance of our tiny existence, yet my mind is able to grasp the vastness of space and conceive of time as if it were matter and very tangible. My mind is able to move effortlessly forward and backwards in time and is logical enough to haggle with a vegetable vendor. I am here stuck with this question; when we are capable of great thoughts why do we indulge in narrow selfish pursuits? Perhaps these ‘narrow selfish pursuits’ are our ways of preserving and continuing the progress of our species. I am not certain but for the lack of better ways we are as we appear to be.
