How do we create together? The Interplay of the Individual and the Group.

In this video, we’re moving on from the co-creating couple to the co-creating group and the role of the individual, and examine this dynamic from all perspectives: vertical, horizontal, and frontal.

We start out with the painting entitled „The ones before, and the ones after us".
In this vertical view of the co-creation process, we look into the past and future of the collective creation, which is always made up of individuals who came before us (ancestors) and those who will come after us (descendants).
We are always part of an ongoing evolution, and our individual perspectives contribute our "building blocks" to this mutual co-creation.
This axis could be interpreted as the axis of time.

We then move to the horizontal creation perspective with the painting "Co-Creators," where we see tectonic beings joining in a circle, which reminds us of a mountain chain creating a powerful light.
This could be interpreted as the space axis.

Finally, we have the duality perspective in the painting "One (in front) of Many," which depicts the individual's frontal, eye to eye, face to face encounter with the group.
What happens when we are alone and confronted by a larger group that expects/imposes a particular point of view on us?
Are we capable of facing the Many in our own light and authenticity?
Watch the video to find out what I discovered about this dilemma in this painting!
