'My
Magical Way of Thinking' is a macro photo of Cladonia lichens with a raindrop
on the top, captured in the Swedish forest in February 2022, being lucky to
catch a few minutes of winter sunshine.
BEHIND THE SCENE:
”My Psychedelic Garden” is a photo project of my inner child.
Playful and curious, my inner child can see magic and fairytales just
everywhere.
How the kids' magic works - kids can take a stick, for example, and
suddenly it turns into a horse, or a human, or whatever, that is needed by the
context. Kids model the world through objects that they have, they play to
enjoy, relieve, and understand. Same here - my inner adult sees a Cladonia
lichen, understands that it is a "mix" of fungus and seaweed, knows
where do they grow, etc. And the inner child looks at Cladonia, and imagines a
human with a head that looks like a crystal ball with beautiful reflections of
thoughts and emotions… the magic of creating a new idea is going on, and the
sparks are all around.
Such a magical way of thinking can be the way to find the solution
or understanding but can be the way to get stuck in illusions. It is activated,
when we need to deal with uncertainty, when we meet something unknown. But the
real magic happens when this magical thinking goes in balance and with the
support and care of the inner adult, our rational part.
