Velum Confractus.

This work captures a transformative moment in the process of personal evolution, where the collapse of external reality acts as a trigger for the revelation of one's authentic self. What was once a stable and unchanging world splinters into mirrored fragments, symbolizing the dismantling of illusions and the unraveling of deeply ingrained beliefs. These fragments not only reflect external decay but also reveal an internal dissonance, unearthing the suppressed dimensions of the psyche.

The piece depicts a moment of awakening—when the external world freezes in place and the internal landscape is freed. This is not simply the destruction of old beliefs, but a profound shift in perception. Internal chaos, constantly shifting and transforming, compels the individual to face that which has long been hidden or denied. The experience is unsettling, fraught with fear, confusion, and reluctance, signaling a departure from the safety of illusion and a confrontation with a deeper, more intricate reality.

A dense silence pervades this process—not a void of inaction, but an intense response to the unavoidable realization that the past no longer holds any relevance. The shifting images, contorting and transforming, crave recognition but are met only with a quivering silence, unprepared for action. This is not an immediate catastrophe, but a slow, gradual process of self-discovery, where the images unfold like an outcry from the depths, gaining intensity as they emerge.

This work chronicles the moment when an individual begins to grasp the magnitude of the inner transformation ahead. As the external world comes to a halt, the focus turns inward, where chaotic contrasts and intense internal conflict demand immediate attention. It marks not a moment of acceptance, but the initiation of a journey towards self-revelation—one where no easy answers exist, only a continual struggle with the truth of one’s own nature. The fissure in consciousness signals the beginning of a process that, though unsettling, is an essential step on the path to awakening.
