Lust for peace Everything in our life is no coincidence, it happens for a reason and something. Any situation teaches, brings experience and defines us of the future. Passing through the lower vital points, we gain wisdom, filled with strength. Without loss, we would not appreciate the gifts of life, without grief, we would not appreciate joy. The project “lust for peace” is a project about pain, about betrayal. The project, which grew out of the experiences of the author, as a way of acceptance, release, and forgiveness. A sort of way long in 8 years. And you could let go of the situation, try to forget to go your own way, but then what lesson will be learned? Where is liberation and forgiveness? The solution was to present the emotional states of the author in an adequate, as it seems to the author, visual form. The author re-lives a painful relationship, plunges into memories and relive and show the viewer how versatile the insult and its consequences are, what effect the actions of a person have, what the other is capable of, without suspecting it. What is this project about? Many times we heard the word "insult", but what does it mean? Resentment is a word, only five letters, but there are many more meanings. Everyone has a familiar feeling: they did not live up to expectations, they rudely said, they hurt, and may have been tortured for years. This is not only a negative, destructive feeling. It can motivate and provoke growth. Behind these dry and incomprehensible words is an abundance of psychological reactions, a variety of emotions. The author suggests surviving them all. To live a moment of anger when anger is not enough words, I want to destroy and smash. To cope with an avalanche of emotions, bitterness of tears. Overcome the utter numbness and powerlessness, and most importantly, find a way out of the vicious circle, free yourself... “Lust for peace” shows us a whole kaleidoscope of reactions, as at the reception of a psychotherapist all the ins and outs of the author are revealed. We are invited to plunge into the painful, long path of betrayal, humiliation, and partly weakness. After all, any situation has at least a couple of points of view, and for sure, if we ask other participants in the events, they will reveal what happened from a different angle. The project ends with a proposal by the author to think about the final frame. What choice will the viewer make? Salvation and rebirth will either burn out and thereby be freed ... And also the author uses the square - as the most balanced.
