Description
The cave is a natural dwelling for many organisms, and we humans haven’t been the exception. This space, the cave, has been part of our genetic and cultural evolution. Other than just a dwelling, the cave has allowed us to shape our thoughts and imagination by matters of light and darkness, the change of sound, and the possibility of isolation from the external world to come into a deeply creative and ritualistic state in which trans is possible and the expression of the creative is imminent. Time, other beings, and the elements can disappear inside a cave, and our thoughts can easily expand into the non-physical world.
