A luminous scene among clouds: at the left a wizard in a pointed hat holds a staff ending in a clock, beside him elf-like girls and a figure grown from plants. A boy in silver robes walks a path of pearls through the middle; at the right stand a dark-robed woman with glowing eyes and a cloaked figure whose sleeve gives way to a golden skeletal hand. Mushrooms and flowers glow below, and an aircraft window at the upper left looks out on floating islands.

The Boy Between the Worlds

A boy moves through a luminous world full of contradictory beings. On one side appear fairy- tale, protective figures; on the other, darker ones that are harder to read. His path leads straight through the middle of these opposites. He seems less lost than attentive and open. The work recalls those phases of transition in which a person does not yet know which world will become their own. “The Boy Between the Worlds” is about growth, decision, and the courage to enter unknown spaces.
