"Birth" is an abstract study of beginnings and origins. The organic forms are reminiscent of cells, cosmic nebulae or the first flashes of life in the shadows.
The monochrome depth of the blue creates a space that simultaneously radiates calm and infinity, while pink-coloured, organic structures appear in it like the first cells taking shape.
The composition plays with condensation and dissolution, with lighter-coloured structures that emerge from the darkness - like a mysterious process of becoming that is not yet visibly tangible, but can already be felt. The interplay of darkness and bright flashes is reminiscent of the security of the hidden - of something that grows before it becomes visible.
This work invites you to develop your own associations: Birth as a biological process, as a spiritual symbol or as a poetic metaphor for new beginnings.
