In “Epiphanic Disconcertment”, the Tower Arcanum inaugurates the artist’s expressive movement. Amid the solidity of purple, which sustains stability and resistance, red erupts as the force of action and reasoning.
The image arises from the visceral need to give form to an irreversible rupture, where a part of herself had already collapsed and finally needed to be left behind. We see a cold body, bent close to the ground. From it, a new form detaches and rises, breaking the conducting red lines that still connected it, symbolising the breaking of an ingrained cycle of thoughts and actions. Between the two, the collapse marks the death of one way of existing and the birth of another.
The Tower reveals the inevitable collapse of structures that no longer sustain life. It is among the ruins that transformation becomes possible: when one way of existing collapses, another can finally emerge. Which structures and cycles of thought in your life need to collapse so that a new version of yourself can be born?
