Description
The AiA rendering shows the seasons of the body through a 24 hour cycle in time. Daybreak at sunrise is the birth of the day, and represents spring time in the body. We wake up restored while it is a little light and a little cold outside and are refreshed and reborn after our slumber. As the day warms up and the light becomes stronger we enter the summer of our 24 hour cycle. Our cortisol levels are up to deal with the physical stresses of the day and this preparation is felt in our cells and in our psyche. As a result of the stress we are better able to process and produce at work. During the day we reach the height of our wakefulness and are in our productive prime. At dusk, the autumn of the day moves in as we start wind down and become introspective. The light starts to go down and without the sun, the day cools down. The winter of the day – nighttime arrives. It is colder and darker, and we prepare for sleep, a transient death that helps us restore.
