Simbolika ptic v poeziji in prozi predstavljena skozi tekstilno umetnost

Živković, Irena (author), Burger Kovič, Katja (mentor)

Upodoba ptic in njihove simbolike v poeziji in prozi je prisotna vse od prvih zapisov mitov in legend. Iz njihovega petja, leta in simbolike, pa ustvarjalci črpajo inspiracijo vse do danes. Njihov pomen je s simboliko števila 12, povezal hrvaški glasbenik Darko Rundek, v pesmi z naslovom "12 ptica", kjer je upesnil proces povezovanja telesnega in duhovnega na poti k razsvetljenju. Motivi iz pesmi ustrezajo simboliki naslova in prinašajo pomen neskončnega bitja, duhovne rasti, bujenja, svobode, duše, neskončnih možnosti uma in povezovanja med nebom in zemljo. Inspirirana s pesmijo, sem s pomočjo tekstilne inštalacije prikazala globoko simboliko ptic. Z upodobitvijo koncepta in ideje skozi tekstilno inštalacijo, je nastala inštalacija "12 ptic", kot vizualni prikaz simbolike ptic v književnosti. S svojo formo in elementi, ki jo gradijo, predstavlja energijo, zavest in razsvetljenje. Predstavlja proces, delo in pot od telesa do duha/duše, zemlje do neba, fizičnega do psihičnega/imaginarnega, zemeljskega do duhovnega, materialnega do spiritualnega, vidnega do nevidnega in od oprijemljivega do neulovljivega. Inštalacijo gradi spiralna postavitev origami ptic, na katerih vidljivost vzorca peres postopoma bledi. Bledenje prikazuje oddaljevanje od zemeljskega in približevanje višjim nivojem zavesti in razsvetljenju. Na samem vrhu, je s hologramom predstavljena prisotnost in odsotnost nečesa materialnega a hkrati neoprijemljivega. Predstavljena je energija v želji, da se le ta širi skozi zavest opazovalcev in prenaša osnovno sporočilo dela, da z delom na sebi doprinašamo k bolj uravnovešenemu, srečnemu in svobodnemu svetu.

• Title: Symbolism of birds in poetry and prose presented through textile art

Abstract

Reference to birds and their symbolism in poetry and prose has been known to us since the time of ancient inscriptions, myths and legends, while their song, flight and symbolism have been an endless source of inspiration to artists, to this day. By combining their deepest meanings with the related symbolism of the number 12, a Croatian musician Darko Rundek, displayed the process of bonding the bodily and the spiritual, i.e., the path to enlightenment, in his timeless song "12 birds". All motifs used in the song match the symbolism of the song’s title, bringing in the meanings of eternal being, spiritual growth and awakening, as well the symbolism of freedom, endless possibilities of the mind, the soul and the connection between heavens and earth. Inspired by Rundek’s song, this thesis aims at presenting the deep symbolism of birds through a textile installation. Material realisation of the idea, and the concept itself, in the form of a textile installation led to the creation of the installation »12 birds« as a visual presentation of the symbolism of birds in literature. Its form and elements present energy, consciousness and enlightenment. It presents a process, active engagement and a journey – from body to spirit/soul, from earth to heavens, from the physical to the mental/imaginary, from the earthly and material to the spiritual, from the visible to the invisible, from the tangible to the intangible. This installation comprises a spiral setting of origami birds, whose plumage pattern on the body gradually recedes. The process of receding symbolizes distancing from the earthly and moving closer to the higher levels of consciousness, the heavens and enlightenment. At the very top, a hologram on a circular surface shows simultaneous presence of something material and something intangible. It shows energy, with a desire to distribute it across the consciousness of the observerand send a central message of taking action – only by working on ourselves do we contribute to this world being a more harmonic, happier place, with more freedom.
