This painting is a tribute to the complex processes of the human mind, which are often triggered during stress and emotional turmoil. It illustrates a whirlwind of thoughts in which a person strives to find the right way out, a comfortable position, and a sense of belonging—only to lose themselves in countless variations of self-searching.
We often focus solely on the negative aspects of stress, failing to appreciate the kaleidoscope of brilliant solutions our minds can generate. The body is the primary limitation to the freedom of every mind.
The painting features 111 human figures arranged in a circular format, visually fading into the distance from the center. This composition creates a dynamic concentration of bodies within an abstract space, symbolizing the beauty of the self-exploration process.
