DEATH<\/h2>\n

69.5 x 54.5 cm, drawn on an antique map, handmade paper, mixed media, natural pigments, acrylic & watercolor, 2025<\/p>\n

Transformation, Transition, Renewal<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the background, a historical map of the Duchy of Lorraine (circa 1690) alludes to the timeless dimension of change. At the center, two stylized hands appear: one open \u2013 a symbol of letting go \u2013 and the other holding a fading candle, a rose, and a shimmering crystal sphere. This composition reflects the moment of transition: the passing of the old and the emergence of the new.<\/p>\n

The red line coursing through the work symbolizes the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Symbols such as Scorpio, the number 13, the rune Eihwaz, and the Ouroboros \u2014 the serpent devouring its own tail \u2014 refer to transformation, protection, and the passage between \u201cold\u201d and \u201cnew.\u201d<\/p>\n

The extinguishing candle stands for the end of a cycle, while the rose \u2013 a symbol of the soul and renewal \u2013 points to life awakening anew.<\/p>\n

The skeletal motifs along the arms emphasize impermanence as a natural part of existence.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeath\u201d is not portrayed here as an ending, but as a necessary process of transformation \u2013 the conscious release of the past to create space for liberation, growth, and new perspectives.<\/p>\n
