In numerous civilizations, mountains have been regarded as sacred places. As the history of transcendental thought has depicted the path to truth as an ascent from the lower to the higher, conquering peaks has been seen as a metaphor for the quest for a deeper understanding of oneself and the world.
In the contemporary context, where thought no longer follows a linear path but rather intersects with a diversity of ideas, mountains have also become subject to varied interpretations. This exhibition seeks to depict some of these interpretations from an artistic perspective.
