Divine Impressions Part 2 Project 2024 Katrina Jelavic University of Sydney | Australia In the modern urban landscape, man is alienated from the divine, preoccupied with futile routines. Departed from the natural world, modern man is held in indifference, ceasing to experience the exaltation of the soul that arises from passions of pain and pleasure encountered in the sublime.Divine Impressions re-edify a phenomenological engagement with a fundamental sacred reality in Sydney Harbour in the encounter of place and breach of the threshold between existence and nature.Sacred spaces prepare the soul for a spiritual encounter amid cosmic struggles of separation, liminality and reaggregation.The threshold initiates separation from the world- the politically and capitally dominated junction of Martin Place, into disorienting darkness, inducing a death like state that prepares the body for illumination.Liminality raises tension between yearning for illumination, and worldly economic, political and egoic trials, yet sustains the pursuit towards the divine by offering pre-visions of the sacred dimension, to assume a new identity in the supernatural.Resurfacing to the inexhaustible horizon realises the presence of the divine dimension culminating in Apotheosis.Returning to Martin Place, opposite the departure, contemplation ensues on navigating the equilibrium between sacred and secular, whilst participating in divine consciousness to comprehend transcendent truths and attain final satisfaction.
