Dissolution - Dancing Light of the Soul, 2022

Mix Media on Canvas, 70cm x 90cm

In this pivotal phase, I found myself withdrawing from the world, immersed in intense introspection about the trajectory and purpose of my existence. The world around me seemed shrouded in darkness, reminiscent of the 'dark night of the soul'—a profound spiritual crisis that precedes enlightenment. This piece embodies the alchemical stage of Dissolution, symbolizing the washing away of impurities and the emergence of spiritual illumination. The dancing lights represent the first glimmers of hope and clarity in the midst of confusion, while the turbulent ocean signifies the emotional and spiritual upheaval necessary for true transformation. Through this visual metaphor, I invite viewers to contemplate their own journeys of spiritual awakening, the courage required to face one's inner darkness, and the promise of enlightenment that awaits those who persevere through life's storms.
