Spiral of Life
Sacred geometry is found throughout the entire Universe and can be seen everywhere in the Natural World. Even our own bodies are made up of this mathematical statement, commonly referred to as the Fibonacci sequence, which connects all living things in the Universe.
Plant growth is governed by the Fibonacci sequence. You can find this pattern in sunflowers, galaxies, whirlpools, and in our very own DNA. The Fibonacci sequence reveals how things grow, build up and multiply according to what is already there. This growth by accumulation is reflected in the branches of trees, the spiral of flowers, and the unfurling of ferns, and all of the known phenomena of this universe, no matter how big or small. The proportions of the human body, the structure of crystals, the spots on a leopard, music, etc. — have a specific geometric structure. The same geometric pattern creates fractals over and over again, which in turn create endless possibilities of light, colour, shape, and sound.
The actual Fibonacci sequence is this series of numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34. As you can see, the next number in the sequence is formed by adding up the previous 2 numbers. (0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, 2 + 1 = 3, and so on.)
When you look at the formation of pine cones, sunflowers, pineapples, and cacti, they all have a double spiral structure that will allow the smaller elements, such as seeds, to pack themselves closely and efficiently. If you look at the center of the sunflower you will see the seeds line up in crisscrossing spirals that radiate from the center. You can count the number of spirals turning in each direction, and these will always be Fibonacci numbers.
If you look at your own fingers even, you will see that the segments are just the previous two added up; the joint in your finger is the length of two of the first joint, the third is the first and third joint combined, and so on. How cool is that?
We are living in a time of unbalanced energy. Over centuries Male energy persists to dominate. Imbalance is affecting the whole world and elements of female energy are suffering. Nature is suffering badly, and we now need to focus and ascent the Female energy to achieve balance. Everything and everyone is connected from our DNA, plants, nature, cosmos, space and faraway galaxies. A pattern that is repeating and is a part of everything is showing us that connectedness.
A Fibonacci sequence can be found everywhere from plants to stars and whole galaxies. This painting is representing a plant with a perfect Fibonacci sequence and shows a good balance of female and male energy. Sharp edges represent male energy and spirals represent female energy, from which every petal starts and is born, surrounding all other sharp leaves, ensuring that each leaf has maximum access to rain and sunlight.
Every plant in nature, every nature's creation is showing us that balance of energies, which we need to find within us, live by it and spread to the world to achieve the long-awaited Harmony, for which this world is starving. In each of us are female and male energies, regardless of gender, which we need to balance and so the world can be healthy, happy, prosperous again and reverse the damage. All changes start within us.
Acrylic on canvas, with additionally attached canvas on the edge of the round frame for the overall painting to have a real shape of aloe. The sculptured paste is used for the spines on the leaves for a 3D effect.
