Presence of the Absent
Neli Carlos luis
Presence of the absent is the middle ground between the metaphysical World and physical World, the meeting between the absent being and the present, this meeting creates the feeling of being before a being,simultaneously in the face of his absence consequently his invisible attendance creates an imaginative memory in the awareness of those who have shown themselves present physically. this world is encoded for many who show themselves present in a visible way with excepting the individuals that contains ability to access the invisible world. The presence of the ancestor in that brief time is like the wind that blows, every living being feels its pleasant breeze that reassures the soul, and renews the energy of the being. Surely the wind is not palpable you don't even want visible as in the case of many existing objects. This air that is always on the move and gives oxygen to beings, creatures lives favored by him but never gets the discourtein and touch. It is a translation of the feeling that Nhamussoro will transmit while the gifts communicate with the absentees.The Nhamussoro is Like a boat, which the man uses as an alternative means to reach another riverbank; - Like an edited bridge over a river, which links one margin to the other and brings the possibility of the man walking over the river; - Like the vehicle the man uses to reach and contemplate the depths of the sea and ocean; - Like a plane, that makes the man even without wings fly and arrive in a few hours where he would need months or years; However, the nhamussoro is the passport for the man to have access to interaction with the ancestors, even this finite and limited being for those before that instant. the passage into the reach of the world of ancestors. 33 x 18 x 14 cm
