There are moments when the soul seeks not answers, but rest. This work was born from such a silence.
In Spiral of Sleep – After Klimt, I trace the lineage of dreams—the sacred spiral where spirit detaches from the body and drifts beyond the material. Inspired by Gustav Klimt’s The Virgins, I did not aim to replicate, but to transmute: to shift the focus from ornamented bodies to the very act of surrender. Sleep, in this work, becomes a spiritual offering. A return. A letting go.

The figures dissolve into swirling patterns, woven from a language of color, geometry, and intuitive code. Their forms are not static—they spiral inward, as if the canvas itself breathes with them. Each layer is a whisper of memory, of subconscious desire, of the cosmic feminine returning to its infinite cradle.

This piece invites you to lean into the unknown—to surrender, like the figures depicted, into a state where thought no longer commands, and presence simply is. It is a meditation on becoming light again.

And above all, it is an ode to rest as resistance, to beauty as balm, and to the quiet spiral that leads us back to the center of the self.
