CULTIVATION

  • Ana Sneeringer

"CULTIVATION" - the process of acquiring quality of life Cultivation of mind. Our great mistake in life education is that we worship book-learning the confusion of instruction and education. We strain the memory like that but we don't cultivate the mind by doing this. Cultivation to the mind is as necessary as the food to the body. In this series I am forcing myself way further then simply portraying the attitude trough facial expression. I am searching for meaning and purpose in life which is one of the greatest reasons for being for most all of humanity – if not the greatest, trough adding subjects of reminder to be present now (cactus) and to be ready and acceptable of new born changes and hope (rainbow) - no matter what they are. Rainbow is a symbol of hope in many cultures. Rainbow appears in perfect arcs, often during a rainstorm when the sun shines onto water droplets, shattering its white light into an array of brilliant colors. My rainbow’s arcs are not perfect, and it does not end with full color scheme but instead ends imperfectly – because this is the way we live – imperfectly and that's the beauty of it that allows us to cultivate our mind.
