Description:

‍ ‍
"Wheel of Time" is a cornerstone of the Twelve Stations of the Soul series, capturing the relentless and cyclical nature of existence. The composition is dominated by a grand, mechanical wheel that symbolizes the cosmic clockwork governing life, death, and rebirth. This central motif reflects the soul’s struggle to find balance within the turning tides of fate.
The artwork utilizes a rich palette of copper, gold, and deep earth tones, contrasting the rigid structure of time with the fluid movements of the spirit. Fragmented masks and architectural elements represent the human ego, caught between the gears of eternity. As birds soar around the revolving wheel, they signify the hope of transcendence and the possibility of rising above temporal constraints. "Wheel of Time" is an invitation to reflect on the rhythm of the universe and the sacred journey of the soul as it seeks a center amidst the constant motion of life.
