This is a project that relates, through images, four colours to the transformative movement whereby each of them changes negative qualities into positive ones in the Buddhist tradition. In it, colour symbolism is frequently used to present abstract concepts through visual images to make those very concepts more universal. Thus, blue transforms anger into wisdom of patience; yellow transforms pride into wisdom of balance; red transforms the delusion of attachment into the wisdom of discernment; and white transforms the delusion of ignorance into the wisdom of ultimate reality. In addition, the images created try to capture symbolic representations from nature, such as the lotus flower, which are related to the qualities mentioned above. The project arises from a personal interest in Zen Buddhism as a form of meditation and the need to explore beneath the surface of things by simplification, minimalism and abstraction. The aims of this work are (i) to awaken spiritual awareness and intuition vis-à-vis the symbolic; (ii) to provide an aesthetic or insightful experience; and (iii) to emphasize the importance of the Buddhist tradition and of meditation as a way to eliminate the causes of violence and bring peace to the world, since every individual who breathes and meditates influences the planet. Regarding the formal point of view, the images blur the boundaries between photography and painting and are inspired by the Buddhist art of Japan from the 6th to 16th centuries. They are arranged as triptychs, following two axes colour and symbolic representation. Thus, • blue transforms anger into wisdom of patience, 1. Anger is represented by thunder and Vajrapāni, one of the main Bodhisattvas, whose colour is blue. He wields lightning and is also known as 'Thunder'. 2. The transition operates in the mind. 3. And it ends in the representation of patience, embodied in the plum blossom, which symbolizes not only patience, but also vitality, and is an auspicious sign, since its flowers bloom in winter before the others. • yellow transforms pride into wisdom of balance, 4. Pride is related to the symbol of the rising sun, which evokes feelings of pride. 5. The flower arrangements known as 'ikebana' express a feeling of balance, harmony and the beauty of impermanence. The sun rises and the flower opens; a compound flower that transforms into birds. 6. These birds are plovers, which usually appear in representations amidst the choppy waves of the ocean. They are associated with the ability to maintain balance and overview even in turbulent times. • red transforms the delusion of attachment into the wisdom of discernment, 7. Attachment is represented by the bird. One of the most important symbols of Mahayana Buddhism is the Wheel of Life. In the centre of the wheel there are three animals: a pig, a snake and a bird. They represent the three poisons: ignorance, aversion and attachment. 8. On its way the bird takes flight, leaving the vine behind, since if not eliminated, the miserable longing re-emerges. 9. And it heads towards the moon. In Buddhism and Taoism, she is the passive and static principle, also representing wisdom, realization and discernment. • white transforms the delusion of ignorance into the wisdom of ultimate reality. 10. Darkness is a symbol of ignorance. It clouds thought and behaviour, but cannot obscure the essential nature of consciousness, which can therefore transcend. 11. The lotus flower, which grows in ponds, must pass through muddy waters to bloom and finally reach the surface. It symbolizes the purity of Nirvana (or satori) and the condition of the mind that awakens through the suffering of samsara. 12. In Buddhism, the bodhi tree is a symbol of enlightenment, wisdom, and the path to spiritual awakening. It is believed that Buddha sat under a bodhi tree for 49 days, meditating until he achieved enlightenment. 13. The last image, which will be enclosed in a glass box, as a Zen sanctuary, represents, on the one hand, emptiness or impermanence and, on the other, the inner spiritual world of the artist.
