Mercury Ascending II

This series captures a self-portrait in transformation, appearing as both vapor and metal, as though sculpted from living mercury. On an open field, the character reaches outward and inward, folding into and dissolving from the landscape. The movement recalls Ovid’s Metamorphoses, where gods and mortals flow into new forms. This art speaks to the pulse of life itself—fragile yet eternal, fleeting yet luminous—reminding us of Rilke’s words: “Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.”
