Join us on May 29th at 12 PM SLT for an exciting experience at the Kondor Art Center. Get ready for “For the Asking”, a photojournalism exhibition by the talented Anu Papp, paired with some beautiful music from DJ Aeleen.
Anu isn’t like most artists. Her current project, “Beloved”, is featured in the stunning Poetic Moon region and showcases her unique perspective. Picture a stunning setting where amazing buildings blend with the beauty of nature, creating a peaceful visual experience. This is where Anu shares her most personal thoughts.
What makes Anu’s work special is where she finds her inspiration: Rumi, the famous Persian poet from the 13th century. In “For the Asking”, she cleverly includes lines from Rumi’s poem A Great Wagon, emphasizing that at our core, we are spiritual beings on a human journey. This isn’t just photography; it’s a thought-provoking reflection on our spiritual selves.
Anu has a unique way of working because she combines her talents as a photographer with her experience as a Kundalini Yoga instructor in California. This mix helps her connect with her subjects on a deeper level, revealing not just what’s on the surface but the true essence of what she photographs. That’s what gives her pictures such depth.
The “Beloved” area feels like a character in its own right. Imagine a rugged landscape with stunning cliffs made of rock and sandstone running along the coast. These dramatic formations create beautiful bays and shorelines, ideal for taking a relaxing stroll, feeling the pull of the tide, or enjoying a splash in the cool seawater pools. This setting encourages deep thought and reflection, inviting visitors to engage with Rumi’s timeless ideas about self and unity. Besides its breathtaking scenery, “Beloved” has many peaceful spots perfect for contemplation—places to sit, think, listen to the sounds around, and watch the water move. For those looking to share their thoughts, there are also chances to connect with others, creating a sense of togetherness that reaches beyond the physical and touches on the deeper aspects of life.
The exhibition at The Kondor Art Center, titled “For the Asking”, showcases 13 landscape photos, each paired with a meaningful quote from Rumi. The choice of 13 isn’t random; in some cultures, it’s seen as a sign of being on the right path and recognizing your efforts. While people see it in different ways, focusing on the positives can spark creativity, intuition, and personal growth, which are themes found in Anu’s work.
Anu Papp’s collection reminds us of the value of connection, mindfulness, and understanding beyond the surface. Her photos are more than just pictures; they’re glimpses into the beauty and depth of the human experience, showing her skill as both a digital and spiritual artist.
“For the Asking”
“Journeys bring power and love back into you. If you can’t go somewhere, move in the passageways of the self.
They are like shafts of light, always changing, and you change when you explore them”.
Save the date, May 29th at 12 PM SLT for an afternoon filled with beautiful art and some quiet reflection. This exhibition gives you a chance to enjoy art that really speaks to you. You won’t want to miss “For the Asking” – it encourages you to see more than just what’s on the surface.
