AWAKENING

Awakening is situated in the world of action, the realm of the manifest: that which has acquired body, form, and matter. The composition is organized around a black core, from which a network of connections extends toward a periphery saturated with bodies, architectures, objects, and signs. Amid the proliferation of the visible, the center remains dark, concentrated, almost impenetrable.

The work brings together different ways of questioning reality and knowledge. The myth of the cave coexists with the birth of artificial intelligence; doors open up possibilities for passage, while the accumulation of images also evokes the distractions Teresa of Ávila recognizes along the journey toward her Interior Castle. The feminine and the masculine, the positive and the negative, appear as forces in tension within a single order.

At the center, darkness does not represent an absence. As in the Dark Night of Saint John of the Cross, it can be a passage: the moment when what is known is no longer enough and another way of perceiving begins.

Awakening thus begins with a paradox: the first movement toward the light takes place in darkness.
