SHE is proof to the notion that archaic never goes out of fashion. VALYA’s new project, toned in a sanguineous Victory Red, sends a highly contemporary message told with traditional art forms, but there’s no contradiction in that. Really important messages like matters of life and death, pulsating in our blood, are timeless – they are coded in our DNA. SHE is going to bring you the deepest memories hidden in distant realms of past millennia. It is set to widen human perception of time - from narrow moments measured in one human life to a broad grasp of the ages of mankind’s existence, from our first sparks of self-consciousness on mother Earth. Moments of truth often prove to be false after transition from the human dimension into the world of transcendence. A constantly unfolding thread of life unites us all on this planet, yet remains invisible unless we are able to see far beyond the transience of our individual existences. And art is one pathway that can bestow that ability to see. Art is the uniting thread of life that connects different cultures and overcomes monstrous socio-political constructs.
