Korè Kosmou

_______________________________________________________




Korè Kosmou is the title of one of the earliest Hermetic writings, in which are explained the origins of the Universe, and its composition by the four elements of Water, Earth, Fire and Air. Korè Kosmou means literally the Virgin of the Cosmos, the divine impersonation of Nature. The greek word “korè” also means "pupil of the eye" and with this cryptic suggestion, the meaning of these writings is left to interpretation: nature is the core of the universe, the beautiful and perfectly Feminine Principle, all-seeing Deity and “Mother of Invention”. 

The inspiration for this work comes straight from these writings to create a visual thread that guides us straight back to this elementary conception of the origins of the world, to reveal the atavistic need for simple and spiritual understanding of the cosmos in relation to ourselves, and a tangible connection between vestigial knowledge and technological advancement.
