Artwork title : Open Your Eyes

"Open Your Eyes" explores the fragility and finite nature of human life. The skull symbolizes mortality, while the light glowing from within represents a divine spark - the inner light, soul, and sense of meaning that lives within each person and does not lose its significance even in the face of death. As long as we are alive, this spark is ours to nurture and let shine. Yet it can also be suffocated by superficiality, distraction, and the meaningless noise of everyday life. The light emerging from the skull therefore becomes a powerful contrast to death: a reminder that even the awareness of our mortality can awaken something deeply alive within us. The title "Open Your Eyes" is an invitation to look beyond the surface, to recognize what is truly meaningful and essential, and to live with greater awareness. The skull reminds us that our time is limited; the inner light reminds us that we are alive now to increase it.

Ultimately, the work is a call to open your eyes, discover what truly matters, and let our inner spark shine while we have the gift of life - rather than allowing it to be extinguished by the trivial, evil and superficial.
