Patrimony (Secrets of the Afterlife)

This work stages a quiet collision between relic and omen: an Egyptian field of hieroglyphs becomes a sacred wall against which a modern, target-like halo gathers attention, pulling the eye inward to the raven’s watchful profile. The deep red ring reads as both protective seal and wound, while the bird’s glossy blackness—lit like polished obsidian—suggests memory, prophecy, and the uncompromising clarity of the nocturnal mind. Above, the winged figures and solar disc hover as a mythic register, turning the composition into a vertical axis of time where ancient authority and contemporary insignia negotiate what is to be preserved, feared, or understood.
