Votive offering II

Votive offering II – Sculpture by Addé 2018

Science, knowledge, technologies, are improving our lives.

Not all for the better though, as they generate dependencies, addictions, and fast-food craving, slowly making us drift away from the fundamental rules of nature.

Being urban at the countryside, simply looking at the sky at night is wonderful, yet holds a part of scare or concern, when contemplating the immensity of space above, transporting us way back when perplexity and conjectures were the rules, and gods the only recomforting invention (well, at least, some of them).

In desperate situations, when fear outcomes hope, and you are not lost at sea at night, hearing the « Jaws theme music, the last resort might be an oblate to what/ who ever might interfere and break the fate.

……………………………………..

La science, la connaissance, les technologies, améliorent notre vie.

Mais pas toutes en bien, quand elles engendrent des dépendances, des envies irrépressibles et des frénésies de fast-food, nous faisant lentement dériver loin des règles fondamentales de la nature.

Être urbain à la campagne, simplement regarder le ciel la nuit, est un émerveillement, mais suscite une part de crainte ou d’inquiétude, lorsque l’on contemple l’immensité de l’espace au-dessus de nous, nous ramenant à l’époque où la perplexité et les conjectures étaient les règles, et les dieux la seule invention réconfortante (enfin, du moins, certaines d’entre elles).

Dans les situations désespérées, lorsque la peur fait place à l’espoir et que vous n’êtes pas perdu en mer la nuit, entendant la musique des dents de la mer, le dernier recours pourrait être un oblat à qui/quoi pourrait intervenir et conjurer le sort.

Where the first sculptures religious, or profane ?

Les premières sculptures étaient-elles religieuses, ou profanes ?
