The Eternal Flow: A Journey Between Worlds
The painting reveals a cosmic scene where both life and death flow through an opening in the universe. The galaxiesin the upper corners symbolize the known universe, but the lake, water, tunnel, and fire represent an opening to the mystical depths, where the infinite, dark secrets of existence lie.
At the center, a dark tunnel surrounded by red and yellow flames is the source of life and death. From this tunnel, cosmic water flows, representing the eternal cycle of existence. The water seems to flow both inward and outward, reflecting the duality of creation and dissolution. The white foam by the tunnel shows the movement of life forces, suggesting simultaneous flows in opposite directions.
A floating woman lies at the bottom, cradled by cosmic hands. She could be either receiving life from the cosmic flow or flowing out of the world, her mind or soul being drawn back to the infinite depths. This ambiguous state represents a moment of balance between life and death, where time stands still and the boundaries between worlds blur.
Around the lake, mystical beings—water spirits with watchful eyes and watersnakes emerging from caves—act as guardians of the threshold, symbolizing both protection and transformation.
The voice from the cosmic depths speaks to the spectator, reminding them to take time, be calm, and love, revealing that this eternal voice is not separate but the essence of the self: “I am You.” The painting embodies the mystical union of self, time, love, and the infinite cosmic flow, where creation and dissolution occur simultaneously.
