Humuli Lupuli

While working on “Humuli Lupuli” – more than setting some meaning – I meant to fill the movement with the emotion and reflection on human old age.

In past times an old man was a symbol of great wisdom and had an important position in society. Today people glorify youth and want to escape irritating thoughts of the old age of theirs as well as of the others. Why do people disregard the old age? May not the time of old age be peaceful, happy and bring the spirit of fulfillment? How does the passing of time influence the human being and the relationships between people? Life roles of a mother, daughter and grand-daughter mix and even reverse with time. Life, from birth through youth and the old age to death, thus seems to reach a circle.
