Gabriel Aries believes every material humans still use for civilization holds contemporary relevance, regardless of when people discovered it. Art history often neglects material as a category. Speaking about material connects us to the history embedded within it. Navana means beauty and nirvana. Previous phases of Gabriel's work reflected his fascination with European architectural details. NAVANA draws heavy influence from his physical and spiritual journeys to the Middle East.The connectivity, interlocking joints, and structural ties in NAVANA represent Gabriel's interpretation of urban harmony. He captures this harmony through the relationship between city architecture and its society. Gabriel presents harmony, alignment, and balance within diversity as fundamental principles for living.
