This piece captures a surreal convergence of human and mythical forms, clinging to the edges of a precarious cliff. A black horse stands stoically at the summit, like a silent oracle presiding over a mass of tangled bodies and figures in ritual-like ascension. Hooded beings linger in the shadows, their presence evoking ancient knowledge and silent witness to the struggles below.
The figures—crawling, climbing, and reaching—mirror the human quest for transcendence, an endless climb toward meaning, balance, and survival. The landscape is harsh, barren, yet alive with symbolism: flight, resistance, and the unyielding pull of gravity.
This artwork serves as a meditation on duality: life and death, struggle and stillness, ascent and fall. It invites us to reflect on our own journeys—are we climbing toward something, or merely holding on?
