About the artwork
Renunciation, when viewed from the side of consciousness, can be thought of as the process or decision to give up something meaningful or important to oneself. It may involve giving up certain beliefs, desires, habits, or attitudes that no longer align with our current understanding or values. On a conscious level, abandonment is often associated with a deep inner conflict or contradiction where we recognize an incompatibility between our personal aspirations and external circumstances or social expectations. This can cause feelings of loss or disappointment, but can also be an important step in personal growth and self-discovery.
