From Intuition to Awakening: The Human as the Bridge of Creation

"Between Earth and Heaven", clay sculpture by Elisaveta Sivas, 2020

Between Earth and Heaven is more than a sculpture — it is a revelation of humanity’s role as the bridge between spirit and matter. Across religions, philosophies, and even Einstein’s physics, the trinity appears as circle, triangle, square; as energy, mass, and light. This sculpture embodies that universal truth: the human as the living axis where invisible energy becomes visible form.


When I sculpted "Between Earth and Heaven" in 2020, I only felt its meaning intuitively. A head, serene on the outside, yet inside a figure suspended on a fine steel line — reaching upward and downward, as if connecting invisible worlds. At that time, I thought it spoke of humanity caught between realms, hanging in the fragile space between life and death, spirit and matter.

Only later, after my awakening in 2022, I began to see with clarity what my hands had shaped long before my mind understood it: humanity is not trapped between. Humanity is the bridge, the very passage through which spirit becomes matter.

The Ancient Language of Trinity

Across cultures and religions, the idea of three-in-one appears as a universal symbol. The Christian Trinity — Father, Son, Spirit. The Hindu Trimurti — Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva. In Taoist philosophy, “The Tao gives birth to One. One gives birth to Two. Two gives birth to Three. And Three gives birth to all things.”

In Zen philosophy, this trinity is explained through form: the circle, the triangle, the square. The circle as spirit and eternity, the triangle as connection and direction, the square as the grounding principle of matter. Together, they construct the cosmic order.

This triad is not merely symbolic — it is the architecture of existence itself.

Einstein’s Formula as Metaphysical Allegory

Even modern physics carries this hidden trinity. Einstein’s famous formula, E = mc², is not just a scientific equation — it is a metaphysical revelation.
E (Energy) is spirit, invisible potential.
m (Mass) is matter, the tangible form.
c² (the squared speed of light) is the movement, the force that transforms energy into matter.

And here lies the revelation: the human being is that very movement, that catalytic principle. Through intention, desire, and awareness, we direct energy and allow it to take shape in the material world.

We are not passive spectators. We are the active force of creation.

Humanity as the Axis

In my sculpture, the stainless steel wire piercing the head is not a thread of suspension — it is the axis mundi, the cosmic column that unites heaven and earth. The figure hanging inside is not caught, but flowing: channeling the movement from above to below, from invisible to visible, from energy to form.

This is the essence of humanity. We are the bridge — not in stasis, but in motion. Not imprisoned between worlds, but embodying the eternal cycle of transformation.

Spirit enters us, passes through us, and takes on form. Through our consciousness, thoughts, and actions, the intangible becomes tangible. The infinite becomes finite, only to return again to the infinite.

A Completed Chapter: SEARCH

"Between Earth and Heaven" belongs to my SEARCH collection (2016–2022) — a chapter of profound inquiry, intuition, and transformation. Each sculpture from this series is a metaphysical allegory, created at a time when I sculpted questions more than answers.

Now, looking back with the clarity of awakening, I see these works not just as artworks, but as prophecies of what was to come in my own evolution. The SEARCH period is now closed — and each sculpture remains a rare testimony to that transformation, never to be recreated again.

Final Reflection

The triad — circle, square, triangle. Spirit, matter, movement. Energy, mass, light.

It all converges in us, the human beings. We are not trapped between heaven and earth. We are the axis of creation. We are the formula, the trinity embodied. We are the bridge through which the universe continues to create itself.
