The Ritual

This work reflects humanity's timeless quest for ritual. The figure praying on the staircase marks the beginning; the sacrificial blood represents the cost, while the pyramid symbolizes the passage to the otherworld. The angel within the eyelash is the divine witness and guide. At the center, the single great eye bears witness to the entire ritual—embodying both divine vision and human conscience. Ritual embodies both fear and hope. This work reflects humanity's ongoing quest for ritual throughout history.
