Synopsis

This work explores the meaning of rock art, especially from deep caves of the paleolithic era. It approaches the problem of interpretation by focusing on a key concept, that art and ritual were used to generate life. Interestingly, this work further considers that creativity emerged from the tension between chaotic lines and more formed shapes. Past interpretive frames, statistical studies, and indigenous parallels are summoned to examine this archetypal impulse. We invite you to explore these works as an adventure that opens up your own spiritual dimension and earliest roots.
