Search for Truth
“Search
for Truth” is a painting about humanity’s search for the origin,
destiny, and meaning of life. It is a story of how we look for the
truth and how we treat others as they also try to discover it.
With so many scientific achievements we know so little of where we came
from and where we are going. But we know even less of the most
important discovery of all – Love. Only love can accept our differences
as we journey through life. And only love can allow space for our
growth.
The astronaut here represents
many of us searching for truth in a controlling way. Although we are
still searching, we are convinced that we have already discovered the
truth and that everyone should believe it only our way. And believe it
at any cost.
Just like this man, we
stand on a strange little planet trying to posses it. Like a giant we
trample on the flowers reaching for light that represent meek and
gentle souls ruled by the ignorant, the cunning, the powerful, the
prideful, or the aggressive. Sadly, most of the tiny planet is already
trampled.
Through his stiff and
cumbersome space suit the astronaut is not able to touch and smell the
blossoms and is able to view them only through his shatter-proof mask.
He presumes the air here is toxic and void of life. So he fears to
remove his suit and get contaminated. Yet despite his great knowledge
he has not figured out that if flowers bloom, then he too would be able
to breathe safely.
Even though he
dwarfs the planet of flowers, he himself gets dwarfed by a grand space
of galaxies and mysteries, which I portrayed through many reality
designs including two sets of DNA where divine and human lives interact
continuously.
I believe everyone should
have an opportunity to search for truth their own way. Humility, peace,
child-like enthusiasm, acceptance, and sincerity is the true infinity
engine!
