arkanum
Arkanum graphic poems are  7 books without words. I am telling them in magical visual language, with numbers, geometry, colours, symbols, and enigmas of long-forgotten symbols. Some kind of Wojinowich manuscript, but in my way. I have been researching the visual language for many years in visual theory books (Arnheim, Kandinsky, Klee, IPD.), ancient art, architecture and scripts, myths and legends, books written by wise men, mystics, prophets and saints on the one hand and on the other books written by contemporary science and philosophy, cognitive science, IPD,… After 30 years, I speak it fluently.
The first book is out. I still have 10 books that are signed. If you want it, send me a mail. The price is 45 euros + post.
Story
Black Book
We all live a seemingly Peaceful life. The situation seems Auspicious, a good omen is in the air. But if we are Truthful to ourselves, something is missing. We all feel that Intense emptiness deep down in our hearts—the lack of love is an Enduring symptom preventing our being. We are Numbering one dull day after another. The only Calm thing we have heard, read or seen is that some people found it. Yes, we all hope that Eternal love exists, but we do not go on a quest to find it. Because the path that leads there is narrow. Yet it is here, right before our noses.
The first in a serial of seven is about the beginning and lostness.
The obvious story is simple. A man and a woman fall in love. When they enter a relationship, they do it with all their heart. As always, there is also a dark side to it. The fear. The fear of losing, the fear of wrong actions, the fear of not-being-loved. After the first craziness and sweetness of love, they do not know how to go on and deviate between everyday life demands and their wishes. Luckily, like in all ancient stories, they meet a wise one who helps them on their quest. The decision to risk everything, make a change in their life, and be dedicated to opening the first door is the first step on a long journey of joy and disappointment. The quest for Love is a long journey, and it is easier if we have the company and support of the one we love.
