Elegiac Landscapes
1.Space haunted by spiritual powers
2. Shadow cast by our thoughts
3. A world without us in our material state
4. Each significant loss is the loss of a world
5. We learn to live with our ghosts or specters
6. The essence of images is inaccessible and mysterious
7. Summoning up the depths, unrevealed yet manifest
8. Absence as presence
9. A riddle that holds the enigma of death at its center
10. And what end but love, that stares death in the eye
11. The beyond of this journey- a return of the dead
12. The angel at the tomb “he is not here, he is elsewhere”
13. Mysterious astral beings, wraithlike figures—illuminated from within—sculpted out of the black abyss
14. The existence of suprasensuous creatures – living with the invisible
15. The imagination roams the depths of a painting
16. Ephemeral transitions – from the realm of phantoms
17. Landscapes rendered as if nature starts to speak and move
18. Where nature coincides with art – revealing the invisible networks connecting us
19. A dark void of incarnate souls
20. Worlds that absorb absence
21. Dreams of immortality
22. We are always haunted, surrounded by the remainders of loss forms of life.
23. We are always in a certain sense, within the dimension of loss and abandonment
24. Beyond where we can go back
25. Souls dancing
26. Sacred Wedding in the night
27. Across forbidden zones
28. Night the astonishing, the stranger to all that is human
29. An irreplaceable vessel of enlightenment
30. My joy rays around me, holds me, concealed from you, hides me like a creature swathed in its own silk
31.May my love go with you, you are surrounded by it like a winged garment that carries loved ones upward.

“ The tormented sense of our human incompleteness from which leaps the demand for transformation”
“ You must change your life “
"the angels of the elegies are mirrors"
“ No where, beloved, will world be but within us. Our life passes in transformation” ( 7th Elegy)

out jubilation and praise to assenting angels” ( 10th elegy )
