The Law of Correspondence
I am Sacha Moens, an innovative and passionate Art Interventionist dedicated to driving positive change through creative sustainability projects.

The idea originated in a poem I published in my book 'Embracing the Void' in 2022. The poem goes as follows:
"you’re told by books on your bookshelf
to place the cause outside yourself
please save the plants and bees
stop cutting down our trees
but are you woke enough to see
that deforestation starts with thee
if logging trees is so unfair
then why you shave your pubic hair"
In these verses, an eye-opening concept emerges – the profound union between the hermetic law of correspondence and the intricate web of human behaviour and its impact on the environment.
At the core of this captivating verse lies a call for a deeper understanding of the interplay between the microcosm and the macrocosm. It beckons us to perceive the world as an intricately woven tapestry, where the tiniest threads of our personal actions resonate and reverberate throughout the vast expanse of our shared planet.
Drawing inspiration from the timeless hermetic principle, I shed light on the intimate connection between the self and the universe. Like Earth, our majestic mothership, nurtures the growth of trees and plants, the human body, too, functions as a microcosm within the larger macrocosm. Just as deforestation disrupts the delicate balance of the Earth's ecosystem, so does our neglect of the small actions within ourselves mirror in the outer world.
The poem gracefully questions the motivations behind certain practices in society, poignantly asking whether we are genuinely aware of the implications of our choices. By addressing the seemingly unrelated act of shaving body hair, I urge people to reevaluate their behaviours. In doing so, it unveils a profound parallel: that the seemingly insignificant actions in our personal lives may be tied to the larger challenges our planet faces, such as deforestation.
The dream is to find more of these seemingly unrelated parallels which connect our daily worlds with effects on the cosmic scale.
