Tapas is the sanscript word that can be translated as “fire, discipline" – fire as the motivation and motor force of a practice to be guided by a complete dedication and surrender throughout time.
Images are drawn, visible between light and shadow. A fire pit seen through a glimpse of unorganized configurations, ethereal and undefined - darkness and miror.
