Those small moments. When we make a stop in between our goals to look and listen. When we discover our current destination. Those small moments that bring magic back into our lives. Taking a step back. When we realise it’s not a moment of failure, but a moment of collecting more energy to sharpen our focus for what’s coming. To make us able to feel the excitement.

We’ve reached that time in our lives when our job defines who we are, the smartphone knows us better than our best friends and the ticking clock is law.

So it might also be the moment when we most need to take that step back. To let go. To find peace walking barefoot in the grass and to notice the birdsong during an early morning in spring. To look back at what once was natural to us and discover who we really are and what we value.

So, how can we find mindfulness in our intense everyday life? We have to find our own ways. Only you know what makes you present. Nobody else does. For some it might be through singing or dancing, for others it might be deep meditation or yoga. Expand your aura so it becomes a divine shield, as taught in Kundalini yoga – a shield that will accompany you through your trials and tribulations and keep your focus intact. Connect your soul to the universal field by activating the power of the heart’s centre and walk through life positive, fearless and happy.

All the noise generated by stress will be on silent mode. What’s left is the wind blowing. Take a deep breath and embrace the power of nature. Just look and listen, and then find something as natural as yourself.

Through presence, meditation, nature. Through simplicity, purity, strength.Life is now, not later, and it’s not worth stressing about it. So why run through it, when you can walk the distance and make the journey last longer?

The 11th Hour encompasses moving images, photographs, poetry and performance and acts as a platform for contemporaries who combine these fields in their artistic practice.

” Marking a point in time you manifest physically and mentally to follow, habit creates ethos.”

This is metaphors and enactments of surrender, its poetry, aformances, film no daydreams.They are insights of times in us, in times for unfoldment.

We are reaching certain hights. It feels like its the first series of a triology in print on paper.

While more is moving into standalones, backdrops for more stories, alignments in time and expression, all of these frames are posters. They are speaking pictures of embodiment and are surrounded by a double frame embedded in an urban surface.

At its root it still depicts the journey first captured in 2010 what became the 11th Hour publication, a collection of photographs and poetry revolving around the emotions of grief,
the hope for resurrection and paths towards it.
On our way, still collaborating, featuring growth
through our mediums for the 11th Hour to be a medium
manifesting each time.
