A journey in the soul through the ruins of the West
This installation is a mosaic
Each image is a tile
Each tile is a chapter
Together they make up the alchemical journey of art and spirit:
Nigredo – the putrefaction of civilization
Albedo – the inner purification
Rubedo – rebirth, light, union
From the death of contemporary art a new beauty can arise
From the dissolution of the West a new beginning can flourish
You are not facing an exhibition, but a rite
to an act of resurrection.
“Et lux in tenebris lucet”
And the light shines in darkness (Jn 1,5)
