This artwork, Sacred Life II, is part of the Still Humans project, continuing the theme of questioning the sanctity and quality of life in today’s world.

The painting’s dynamic composition uses bold strokes of red and gray, creating an impression of both turmoil and introspection.

The sweeping ink flows and the complex, maze-like designs suggest a tension between structure and dissolution, posing a thought-provoking question: Is life still good and whole or are we beginning to fall apart?

The rich red and shadowy gray tones evoke both vitality and decay, as though life itself is in a fragile balance between beauty and disintegration. The intricate line work, seemingly representing neural pathways or labyrinthine thoughts, serves as a reminder of our complex inner landscapes. Each swirl and curve could symbolize our struggles to understand ourselves, hinting at the introspective question, Do we still comprehend?

In the end, this piece feels like a meditation on the sacredness of existence. The chaotic, fluid ink contrasts with the controlled markers, mirroring the fragile line between coherence and chaos. It invites viewers to reflect on whether life is still sacred—or if, in a world filled with complexities and crises, we have lost that sense of sanctity.
