The Paths of Life

A series I created about my struggle of being alive.

I don't want to share too many details about each work online, because this series is deeply personal to me but I thought it would be interesting to still share some of the symbolism behind it.

The first work represents the invisible to society struggle with trauma and chronic pain, sickness holding you back.

The second work represents slowing down in a rushed society. This is the only part that Is blossoming. Because only when you follow your own rhythm you reach your true potential.

Third work represents the unexpected turns of life. Where you have to take up roles you do not feel ready or good enough for(a snake becoming a part of a bird's nest)
Yet in this stage your biggest growth and transformation starts(the moth).

The fourth work is about losing a loved one. Yet there is hope in the end(the four-leaf clover) because even in the deepest points there is still hope.

Throughout the whole series there is a snake skeleton, because as life goes on, death is always there, it's part of life and our loyal companion.

The originals are sold
The works are available as a set of 4postcards(see last picture).
