In this work, the artist depicts the inner world and struggles we encounter as we each seek our own path on our life journey towards achieving our dreams. Once a person is born into the world, life puts them through various difficulties to help them develop themselves and discover their inner potential. Over time, a person not only understands themself but also gains a deeper understanding of the world around them. This path, full of trials, serves to help a person understand life and grow. While this journey is one of choices, obstacles, and struggle, it is only by going through this process that one can find themself, learn life’s lessons, and gain a deeper sense of meaning.
When looking at the sky with the blacklight, matrix codes are visible, marked with the binary coding system 1 and 0. This suggests that the universe operates with a certain program; 1 and 0 also represent the game of existence and non-existence. Between the numbers, the phrase “We bring the dead to life, we record what they have done and the traces they leave” (from the Holy Quran) is written. It signifies that everything we do affects the soul, the world, and future lives.
