About the artwork
This artwork is a kind of emotional cycle in which the subject undergoes a series of symbolic transformations — from bodily recognition to ritual dissolution in a synthetic stream.
The narrative is built on a paradox: the protagonist receives a “key” to exit, but the act of leaving becomes a moment of irreversible transformation. A digital object, a handmade ritual, an industrial mirage — all merge into a story of a person who does not abandon the simulation, but embraces it as part of themselves. The physical gesture of immersion is not an escape, but a submission: the focus is not on salvation, but on connection.
