Unaphtia Artwork

‘Unaphtia’ is the second work of the diptych completing my long-term project ‘Semiosis of Meta-Abstract Symbols / Phenomenology of Freedom’ which lasted 16 years - from 2007 to 2023 - www.niyazmamedov.com/category/underground/page/3/. The artwork is the vision of the conceptual state Unaphtia - the name coined by me from ancient Greek 'Oυ-ναφθα' (the word that never existed before and meaning something like No-Oilia) that I introduced to establish a society based on fundamentally new economic model and humanistic values. As the culmination of many years project exploring environmental/social/political challenges of our time, the work has become quintessence of my long reflections on the possible way out of the civilizational impasse into which our society seems inevitably to plunge. It was introduced also in Unaphtia my concept of Post-Present Time - new intermediate form of time flowing in conditions of complicated modernity for realization of experimentally taken steps towards actual implementation of the future in the present that is not yet ready to accept it. Capes - as the most extreme points of continents, where the energy of three elements is most fully accumulated - are considered here as critically important locations for realizing Post-Present Time. As places in a sense mystical, they conceal possibility of generating a metaphysical energy, which can lead to a deeper understanding of the purpose and possibilities of art and new forms of its expression. Surrounded by the sea on three sides, cape is especially favorable for the accumulation of the energy of thoughts, beneficial performance and deep penetration into the understanding of the essential relationship between the element of creativity with the harmony of nature and the purity of thoughts generated by it.
