This simple line drawing by Marko Pogacnik depicts a wave-like symbol repeated across the page. In many ancient cultures, the wave is a powerful emblem of life, representing the ebb and flow of existence, the chaos and calm of nature's rhythms. Consider the "wave" motif as it appears in Minoan frescoes or even Japanese prints, such as Hokusai's "Great Wave." In these works, the wave symbolizes not just water, but also transformation and renewal. Over time, the wave has been passed down through history, shifting from literal depictions of nature, to a more spiritual symbol. The collective memory of natural disasters and the sea's potential chaos may subconsciously affect its production and interpretation. This simple, yet elegant symbol acts as a psychological force engaging viewers on a subconscious level. The cyclical progression of this symbol surfaces, evolves, and takes on new meanings in different historical contexts.
