Description:
The work is based on Siddhartha, responding to the question of how the individual returns inward after desire, disorder, and spiritual drifting.
Rather than depicting a definitive moment of “awakening,” the work focuses on an unfinished internal transformation. Within a state of confusion, the subject gradually realises that the external world cannot truly provide shelter, and that continuous wandering cannot replace the formation of an inner order. Emotional entanglements, psychic noise, and unprocessed wounds do not disappear immediately; instead, the figure begins to withdraw from a state of weightlessness, turning toward silence, solitude, and the possibility of reconnecting with the self.
The work therefore does not romanticise drifting, nor does it understand spirituality as an escape from reality. It attempts to capture a threshold state: the moment when one no longer seeks meaning solely from the outside, but begins to recognise that the place one needs to reach is not somewhere distant, but within oneself.
