Learning To Fly

In this painting, a stylized bird soars—a being of fire and silk—spreading its wings shimmering with shades of purple and gold toward an ascending curve of light. Every aspect of it speaks of a powerful impulse, a determined will to cross the threshold of the known and enter a realm of awakening. This flight is more than mere movement; it represents initiation, transition, and the soul’s elevation as it learns to free itself from earthly ties. Each feather seems to resonate with ancient memory. The golden vertical line beside it acts as an axis, a pillar of light, evoking the symbolic ladder that connects earth and heaven— the "axis mundi," the world’s center.
