Mirror of Consciousness: The Duality of Being

This artwork, through an exploration of the pure color white, presents the intricate relationship between consciousness and existence. The subtle variations of grayish-white tones visualize the fluidity of awareness, where every stroke—whether left untouched or layered—suggests an interplay between memory and the present moment. The ethereal whiteness is not merely a color but a metaphor for a state of being.

The piece reflects the duality of human consciousness: beneath the surface tranquility lies an undercurrent of internal movement, much like the imperceptible layering within the composition, hinting at an eternal dialogue between appearance and essence. This visual experience evokes Sartre’s notion of the tension between the “transparency of consciousness” and the “opacity of existence.”

Through the artist’s spatial treatment, the work infuses minimalist form with profound philosophical inquiry. The white canvas serves both as a mirror, reflecting the viewer’s inner world, and as a window, opening toward the enigma of existence itself. This simultaneous distance and intimacy mirror the spiritual condition of modern individuals.
