“12IN4”
“This exhibition is about rhythm, reflection and resonance. The elements are the body, the seasons are the pulse and the moon is the breath.”








"12IN4" is not simply a multimedia exhibition—it is a compass of consciousness,
and the exhibition is an intimate and visceral exploration of the primal forces that surround us.
A sensory experience that invites visitors to reflect on the cyclical nature and the infinite power of transformation.
Step inside and be enveloped by 4 elemental energies—Fire, Water, Air, Earth—each igniting, flowing, disturbing, or calming in perpetual motion on luminous monitors positioned at the corners, forming a crucible of the primordial language of nature. This elemental video art is not simply images; it is invocations—evoking sensations, memories, and wonder.
Across the four walls, round canvases bloom flowers like 4 seasonal mandalas. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter—the everlasting spiral of growth, culmination, decay, and rest. These floral archetypes speak through color and gesture, embodying the emotional palette of time.
In the midst of these images, four long scrolls of poetry hang between each season. These are the 4 phases of the Moon—New, Waxing, Full, Waning—captured in verse. Their shape is deliberate: loose, upright, transitory, mirroring the moon’s ghostly descent across the sky.
As they float in space, they ask us: What phase are you in now?
These 3 manifestations multiply the 4 and result in 12 stages.

The number four is considered a pivotal and resolving number: in fact, there are four cardinal points, the main winds, the seasons, the lunar phases, the fundamental elements.
The number twelve has a profound symbolic value. The twelfth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is LAMED, and its meaning is Love, a condition that leads us to understand the very foundation of Creation. This number also represents the months, therefore time. There were twelve apostles, the twelve constellations relating to the 12 signs of the zodiac, therefore meaning not only the concept of time but also that of space.
Together, these numbers suggest a balance between the microcosm and the macrocosm, where 4 represents stability and concreteness, and 12 the totality of the universe.
This exhibition becomes a living clock, whose hands are not fixed but fluid—measuring not minutes, but transformations. Each element fuels a season. Each season leans on the mood of the moon. Each lunar phase reveals a hidden chamber of the soul, an alchemic wheel—a wheel where emotion, nature, and time speak as one voice.
"A richly symbolic multimedia exhibition beckons—a convergence of elemental power, cyclical tra nsformation, and poetic insight!"

Spring
I feel a call—
a leaning toward becoming.
The sprout splits the sky
with a smile.
This friction, sings hymns
In movement. Time.
Half-lit, half-lost,
I rise any way.


Winter – The Hidden Seed
Beneath the silence of the earth,
a silence so sharp it splits
the stone of habit—
this is not death,
but a breath drawn back
before the cry.
I am unlit potential,
unspoken word,
a vow curled in the marrow.
Darkness is fertile.
What cannot be seen
has already begun.
Autunm
It is time to fall with grace.
Wither alone.
Let the flower go
without mourning the petal.
There is wisdom
in letting the fruit drop.
I do not vanish—
I distill.
This is not an end.
Promised.
Summer
Now everything is—
the mirror of the sky
Surrender— Hunger.
Desire glows like a sigh
a crown.
Light flows through everything.
nothing hides.
Look at me.
I am all of this.
Divine.
