From root to crown—from shadow to light.
In Resurrection (1986), Maria Angela depicts the path of inner transformation. At the bottom, a figure sits folded, hands in front of the face, deep in introspection. From her grows a tree, firmly rooted and crowned with a snail shell: symbol of time, cyclical consciousness and the slow unfolding of the soul.
Above the tree rises a woman, arms open to the light. A figure of rebirth, triumph, surrender. Behind her glows a circle—a sun, a navel, a gateway to a higher self.
On the left, almost silent and forgotten, a classic image of embrace: an echo of earthly love against the spiritual upward force of the now.
Resurrection is not a moment, but a process.
A visual hymn about the power that comes when we don't avoid the darkness within ourselves, but live through it.
A work full of rhythm, symbolism and liberation.
