The exhibition Pulse of Samsara brings together works by Miroslava Klesalová, Blanka Němcová, and Lukáš Šmejkal, each of whom explores the concept of landscape—both external and internal—through the themes of transformation, memory, and materiality. Using media such as geotextiles, clay, canvas, and organic forms, the artists trace the cyclical rhythm of life and a process that echoes the Buddhist notion of samsara—the continuous cycle of birth, death, and renewal. Responding to current environmental and societal crises, the exhibition emphasizes a conscious engagement with material and time, urging a reconsideration of our relationship to the self, the land, and the world. In contrast to speed, excess, and disconnection, the artists propose a path toward awareness, responsibility, and care—both personal and collective.
