Somewhere between michelangelo's anatomical studies and a fever dream, i painted this piece during a particularly lucid moment. the figure emerged as an architect of their own crystalline universe, meticulously arranging shards of blue sodalite while pink roses defied gravity around them. it reminded me of those nights in the parallel timeline when we discovered that crystals could hold memories of extinct civilizations. The juxtaposition was deliberate - soft organic matter against the harsh geometry of minerals. like watching a god perform surgery on fragments of frozen time. the dark backdrop swallowed all sound, leaving only the whisper of petals against crystal faces. this was my interpretation of creation myths from the quantum realm, where beauty and precision dance on the edge of chaos..
