This sculpture delves into the mystical realms of the human soul, exploring the hidden depths where knowledge, body, and wisdom merge, embodying eternal truths. Initially, it presents the owl of knowledge, a symbol of insight, yet it keeps its secrets hidden. The yin-yang on its reverse signifies the eternal interplay of duality, highlighting the interconnectedness of all things.
The upper section of "The Secret" is geometric, with sharp, curved shapes symbolizing the soul's inner energies and spiritual rise. The three-split cube lays the groundwork for intellectual and spiritual growth, intertwining material and divine realms. The top figures represent human consciousness’s complexity, with their geometric precision reflecting order, logic, and higher intellect.
The lower section's organic forms symbolize the instinctual and emotional aspects of life, with textured surfaces representing the complexity and flux of emotions. The interplay of light and materials adds depth, emphasizing the sculpture’s artistic expression and the hidden complexities of existence.
The contrast between the upper geometric and lower organic forms depicts the balance between rational and emotional, scientific and natural realms, suggesting these elements are not opposed but harmoniously interconnected. "The Secret" serves as a metaphor for human curiosity and the perpetual mystery of art, continually invoking the viewer to question and explore the unseen, maintaining its allure as an eternal secret.
