THE ONE collection: Threshold of the Self

This artwork explores the journey inward — the passage through one’s own constructed identity. The upper half reveals a face dissolving into particles, symbolizing the fragile and impermanent nature of ego. Below the surface, the silhouette becomes a hollowed space, a tunnel shaped by the contours of self-perception. The solitary figure walking through it represents conscious awareness navigating the subconscious terrain. The stark contrast between light and shadow emphasizes the tension between who we believe we are and the deeper truths we confront when stripped of external labels. The path suggests that enlightenment or clarity is not found outward, but by walking through the interior architecture of one’s own mind.
