Dance of the Self: A Journey Between Water and Moon
This painting depicts a dynamic interplay between a mother and daughter dancing over calm water, supported by spirits with four wings. The daughter, representing the childhood self, stays connected to the water, symbolizing the emotional and subconscious depths. The child creates the mother, embodying the idea that the adult self is fostered and shaped by the child. The mother reaches for the moon, symbolizing spiritual wisdom, while the spirits actively lift and guide them, helping the mother in her ascension.
The painting acts as both a deep mirror and a ladder for the observer. It reflects the emotional and spiritual layers of the self, while also offering a path for spiritual growth, like Wittgenstein’s ladder. The water reflects the self’s subconscious truths, and the spirits’ wings symbolize spiritual support in the journey of life. The observer is encouraged to engage with the painting as a tool for self-reflection and ascent toward higher awareness.
