The Allegory of the Cave

On this background, red and orange doodles weave across the canvas, representing the shadows on the wall that the prisoners believe to be reality.

These doodles create a sense of distortion, echoing the illusions the prisoners are trapped in. In the foreground, green motifs rise upwards, symbolizing the ascent toward knowledge and enlightenment. The upward movement of the green patterns contrasts with the fiery, chaotic doodles, suggesting a journey from ignorance to truth—an awakening from the shadows toward clarity and self-awareness. The green motifs’ vertical rise represents the hope of liberation from the cave, where the mind begins to move toward higher understanding.
