Image Statement: Aurora & Dusk, is a textile diptych born from the symbolic separation of the two sides of a man’s suit jacket. This work explores themes of transformation, the relationship between humans and nature, and the perpetual cycle of destruction and reconstruction, resonating with the tradition of alchemical principles. (Aurora) embodies the final stage of alchemy, the Great Work of the Red Phase. A rose branch adorned with red beads emerges from the heart area, symbolizing the union of mercury and sulfur, the fixation of the spirit, and incandescence. This luminous pulse reflects a vibrant rebirth after chaos.
