Kadi Tombak - EART

Kadi Tombak is an artist, theologian, photographer, and a priest. For years, she served as a guide, taking people on spiritual journeys, one-on-one, to meet healers and holy people, and in that way creating pilgrimages for them. Today she calls her art as functional sacred art, due to its practical use for contemplation on ancient symbols of wisdom combined with chants. It is important for her to bring this heritage closer to our generation and to have these symbols around us in everyday life. “Every generation has an obligation to translate, revisit, and remember the wisdom that we have inherited from ancient traditions before us! I feel an urge to do just that, and I am using symbols for these translations. Translation itself means to have a relationship with the transience, to bring something from the past and revisit its message with our present minds and pass it on to the next generations. The truths are all visible yet human beings tend to ignore it and forget.”
Geometric patterns, holy chants, and mantras are all based on ancient texts and teachings.
