Art of 4 Elements: Exploring Alchemy through Poetry, AoL #1
Discover alchemy through poetry. Discover love through alchemy
The Art of Four Elements book is a collaboration of four artists: one poet, one photographer and two painters. The poetry is an inspiration for the work of the artists. Each of the artists has chosen 40 poems and has created the art work based on the theme and the ‘vibe’ of each poem. Together they created an e-book with 120 poems and 120 photos, paintings, and drawings.
Transforming the visible into words, and words into images, we stumbled upon the four elements, and upon each others’ expression of Love, Joy, Suffering, Compassion, Curiosity, and most of all, Wonder towards all the manifestations within Nature. The poetry, the photography, the drawings, all, attempt to deeper explore the infinite game of Life, through the exploration of:• Earth that is fixed, rigid, static and quiet, and symbolizes the world of senses;• Water that is the primordial Chaos, is fluidity and flexibility, and symbolizes the world of emotions;• Air that has no shape and is incapable of any fixed form. It is a symbol of thoughts.• Fire that is boundless and invisible, and is a parching heat that consumes all, or within its highest manifestation, becomes the expression of Divine Love; and• Spirit that stands at the center of the four elements as an Essence, an Observer, Consciousness coming forth to experience the magic of Life.

Chapter Excerpts
Self Remember
Self-Remember – Art of 4 Elements by Nataša Pantović
When Life on Earth reminds you
Of a theater performance
that you have performed a thousand and one times
Of wearing shoes
that belong to someone else
Of living in Africa
surrounded with immense wealth – but starving
Of trying to reach and never managing
’cause the goal is invisible
Of circling endlessly day after day
and reaching the same bloody useless spot over and over
Of words that are never said
’cause the moment got lost in an explosion of self-importance
Of a hand that longs for a hand-shake
in a land where all creatures have four feet
Of a life of a battery grown chick
that ate its feet thinking they are food
Of a homeless child’s face
that is searching for his family just after the Tsunami
Stop!
Stop
To hear the clatter of cutlery just before lunch
carefully prepared by a grandma
waiting for the reunion of her family
Stop
To breathe the air that smells of jasmine
in early spring and disappears in the eyes
of a 6 year old that tells you she is in-love
Stop
To touch the fur of a cat that keeps coming to you
no matter how long you’ve been away
Stop
To see the balcony of the 18th century building
you pass by unnoticed on your way to work
Stop
To see the faces in a crowded bus
reading their stories one by one
Stop
To watch the sea as it greets the land
in an endless rubbing of noses
Stop
to Self-Remember
