The second law of thermodynamics is the only general law of physics that distinguishes past from future. Like an arrow of time, heat passes only from hot to cold bodies, never vice versa. Unless externally provoked, a cold body does not become hot. This natural flow of dissipation dances with another flow: the biological flow of life, which binds and envelops Gaia in a continuous metamorphosis. The biological flow, the metabolism of the Earth, is love that reworks the elements and maintains the collective pulse. Through the experience of interweaving scientific, artistic and traditional understandings, this arrow speaks of entropy and syntropy, without mentioning these words. It is a vision of Gaia in the cosmos, dreamed up by the grandmother of the World who watches us to this day, sitting on her white quartz bench. It is also a commentary on humanity's fear of dealing with the nature of life and its quest to reverse the law of time with methods, machines, and anti-aging filters. Perhaps it is an arrow about the spell that has dissociated humans from natural cycles. She was inspired by the beauty of collaborative relationships that are created in time and space, like planting a tree that will one day be the canoe of someone in the future. The awareness that we gratefully inhabit the same planetary garden. In Time and Love, Lygia Clark is the grandmother of the world, Arthur Bispo do Rosário is unconditional love. There is Miró and his wife dreaming of an escape, Herança by Thiago Rocha Pitta and many image associations. Time differs according to the point of observation. May this arrow multiply with each look, with each listen.
