    paper The cycle of life

    The Cycle of Life
    ​This artwork explores the continuity of existence beyond appearances. The woman, the original source of life, faces the darkness of night, symbolizing death. Yet, this end is not a finality but a transition: the root-like veins illustrate how our essence travels and reconnects with all living things.
    ​In the bottom right, the dawn marks renewal and perpetual rebirth. While the animal embodies our vital dependence on nature, the moon reminds us that our origins transcend Earth to unite with the entire universe. Through these spheres—true windows onto the world—the work reveals that everything is interconnected in an infinite cosmic dance.
