Original artwork description:

This work is a symbol of duality and transformation. Et Descendite Album invites the viewer to an introspective journey, a moment of pause where the internal and the external intertwine, a constant struggle between appearance and essence, being and becoming.
The overlapping of both images that covers and uncovers parts of the body symbolizes the layers of human identity, where the visible hides the invisible and the tangible blends with the ethereal. This irregular patina can be interpreted as the scars of the soul, marks of time and experiences that, although they try to hide, are an integral part of existence.
Her arms crossed over her chest are not only a gesture of protection, but a metaphor for an embrace of herself, a refuge in her own strength and vulnerability. This posture encapsulates the conflict between the need to protect herself and the desire to show her authenticity.

Materials used:

mixed media and image transfer on canvas
