This painting delves deeply into the existential, exploring themes of death, identity, and the dissolution of the self, with an undertone of unease and fragility. It tells the story of transition and the struggle of internal conflict —whether physical, spiritual, or emotional. The contrast between the figure's two sets of arms illustrate being caught between attachment and detachment. Her mask conceals her true face and a private inner world of mourning trapped between realms—not fully realised into something new but not yet departed either. The symbolism of the centralized composition, with the glowing circle background, hint at the cyclical nature of life. Silver, often associated with the moon and the feminine, indicate hope and a connection to the spiritual realm.
 
This painting was designed to be a companion to 'Levitate' - also available in the store.
