The Two Poles of the Soul

35 × 50 cm / Oil on canvas

€500

Every human being carries within them both a fading sky and a fire that never dies down. While one side of us quietly deepens under the weight of the past, the other struggles to be born from its ashes. Darkness is not a void that swallows us, but the home of those sides of ourselves yet to be discovered. Fire, for its part, is not merely destruction; it is the language of change, of courage and of existing anew. Sometimes we must break apart in order to reach ourselves; sometimes we must let go of who we once were in order to be born again. For transformation is not the destruction of darkness; it is the acceptance that darkness and fire can exist within the same body. A human being becomes who they are not when they destroy their opposites, but when they bring them together into a whole.
