The painting explores the powerful process of transformation, where life and intellect are in tension, but ultimately find harmony. At the center of the painting is a blinding white space, a formless crucible where the boundaries between life and intellect dissolve and new forms emerge. The blue masksymbolizes the detached intellect, cool and introspective, with a downward gaze and a closed mouth, hinting at suppressed emotions.

Contrasting this cold intellect is the red stroke, which represents the warm blood of life pushing through the mask, seeking to bring vitality and expression to the intellect. The yellow 'flower' in the middle right acts as a conduit, like blood vessels, channeling the life-energy into the white transformative core.

Around the central scene are several smaller figures. A face looks upward in awe at the mask, while a small figurenext to it represents the innocent and curious spirit unafraid of change. Below the white, a face with an open mouthreleases the energy suppressed by the mask. On the lower left, a longish figure looks downward, reflecting on what is being lost or left behind during the transformation.

The lower right features an eye of a horse-like head, symbolizing primal instinct and wisdom, calmly observing the process. The yellow conduits connecting the figures symbolize the flow of life, uniting all aspects of intellect, emotion, and instinct into one grand transformative process. Ultimately, the painting portrays a vision of integration and wholeness, where life-force and intellect are harmonized through the energy of transformation.
