Transmutation is a visually powerful work that expresses the alchemy of spiritual growth and inner transformation. The coiled serpent at the bottom, eating its own tail, references the Ouroboros, an ancient symbol of eternal cycles, rebirth, and infinity. The clock, entangled in a spider web and pointing to midnight, symbolizes a pivotal moment of transformation—the turning point between past and future, darkness and light
Along the stairs, like guardians of the path, sit mythical creatures that guard the transition. The figure at the top of the stairs, a butterfly woman with radiant wings, embodies the accomplished transmutation—the ultimate liberation of the soul. The thorns, skeletons, and bats are reminders of the trials that must be overcome to reach this level of consciousness.
Above the moon is the artist's MA symbol, a signature that emphasizes the personal and universal dimension of this journey. Transmutation shows that true growth is only possible by letting go of the old and courageously walking the path into the unknown.
