On being

Lyndi Sales is searching.
She is searching for an elsewhere and is searching for a reunion. An escape to better connect to the world, to others, to herself. A love quest in the platonic sense, where love means a progression towards the knowledge of beauty and in fine the access to the indivisible*.
Lyndi Sales’ work process is meditative: she repeats gestures in a carefully crafted sound universe to provoke specific emotions (sadness, euphoria, melancholia, ecstasy) in order to enter a state of maximum receptivity… A dream of Utopia in response to a void, the feeling of being separated from others, even though beings are the universe and breathe together.  The artist aspires to overcome contradictory emotions that characterize human life, by opening herself to an interior, contemplative world leading to other levels of consciousness. By doing so, she reaches new visions and distances herself from a sometimes hurtful societal reality.
