About the exhibition
When we talk about rivers, we imagine a flowing watercourse, usually a stream flowing over land or in a cave towards a lower elevation such as an ocean, sea, wetland, lake or other river. It can also be a flow of lava from a volcano, or a man-made canal constructed to allow the passage of boats or ships inland or to convey water for irrigation.
Rivers symbolise vitality, fertility and the cycle of life. Rivers naturally flow and change over time, symbolising the passage of time and the transformative nature of life.
Metaphors for journey allow an unequalled way to learn and describe the single aspects of our journeys in life. They enrich our understanding of life’s different experiences - the fluidity of life and the continuous evolution of oneself.
A journey is a common metaphor for life as it reminds us that the destination is not our only goal. Like with any journey, there are times when the rivers are straight and times when they are winding.
