SOUNDWALK YEREVAN
sound exhibition, 2023
the evernew born light
that flows in this world
gathers in my hands
illuminating the darkness
so I won’t lose sight
it wonders fluxes
finding it’s ways
to give solace at last
Soundwalk
Yerevan
This small storyline of pictures is about me feeling like I live my life as a bug, or a rock on the road, perceiving life with my senses alone. Information distracts me from the core of the things and seems artificial and unnecessary.
The light that flows in the world is the very essence of life, which one should feel and take as it is coming to her and then pass on to other beings. It is always in-between, it is always everywhere and nowhere specifically, but you can always capture it when your soul, your mind and your body are in the same state of peace and fluid movement towards the next step, wherever it is that the light inside leads you.

Mane Petrosyan Kamsarakan
is an Armenian jewelry artist based in Yerevan. She believes that jewelry originates in the human body and is meant to complement it in the most natural way. An integral part of the concept of her work is to always try to speak in the language of the material that she works with and to get the best out of it, be it metal, paper, plastic or else. She is interested in developing her future designs while being inspired by Armenian culture in order to connect young generations with their heritage in every day life and to tell the world about her culture through her work.
