Philosophy
Scientific technology controlled spiritual culture in the twentieth
century.
Modernism has created modern life and human desire each a part of
the whole. It has made them expand and become presumptuous.
The Earth is only one that includes all. All of us has responsibility
to have a positive effect on the international peaceful world. Livingings,
people, each life is respected and it creates strong bonding between
our own family and friends, like the Earth on which diverse lives
coexist.
Inspiring local unique individuality and identity creates global
unity with local people. It is the same as a human body or an organic
substance each consisting of cells. When we look at the Earth globally
as a member in the Universe, whole human beings as members on the
Earth form the link organically, we can come to receive the deep
spirit of humankind that used to exist in nature with their all
senses and spirits.
The Invisible spiritual environment embraces human beings.
" To hear the voice of invisible things "
" To be a part of the world "
" To be in the same stream with many lives "
" To be linked with spirits of souls in the Cosmos"
Mariyo Yagi's environmental art seeks the inner space of the soul
and mind,and creates a space which recreates the feeling of the
origin of life.
Art is committed to the energy of human life. Art exists in the
root of life. The key of this theme is the study of Nawa which means
Rope,twisted cords. Dr. Mariyo Yagi named it NAWALOGY which is the
Cosmos of Nawa. It is worthwhile to learn about the Cosmos of Nawa
because Nawa is a human product from the forests in ancient times
and is a spiral energy inter linking the micro cosmos like DNA and
the macro cosmos.
The Cosmos of Nawa will continue even if forests disappear from
the Earth. Artist Dr.Mariyo Yagi |

The NAWA - a spiral cord -
the great link between earth and heaven and all living things lead
to a spiritual trip from DNA to the maternal cosmos. It was a trip
to realize our origins and discover our existence. The DNA of all
living things faces the central axis of hollowness with coiling
double spirals.
The NAWA is not a NAWA when there is only one spiral.
When two or more spirals face the central axis of hollowness similar
to DNA, a NAWA is born. NAWA means you and I . NAWA consists of
NA, you and WA, I. Facing each other over the central axis of hollowness.
You face me, I face you . You and I I become empty and tranquil.
I find myself going back to my roots. To be consumed by art Art
is the source of life. NAWA is a spiral energy which connects lives.
NAWA is a bonding of spirit between man and nature, between people
and people. NAWA is a life line connecting all living things.
We
are all rooted to Mother Earth by an umbilical cord. You and I can
not live alone. You and I walk along in our civilization, urbanization,
holding on to the NAWA linking us. You and I recreate our civilization,
urbanization like the organic NAWA,like our body enjoying to go
for a spiritual walk in another organic space- urban space.
It is
Spiritual Garden. It is the strange, mysterious scenery. Here, now
is the moment to experience sensation in this magnetic field of
NAWA which all lives have.
