Stagnation

"Stagnation" portrays a person trapped at a standstill in life, engulfed by deep sadness and an inner void. The nearly ceramic-like figure, overgrown with roots, embodies the feeling of stagnation, while the empty space in place of the head reflects a profound sense of emptiness in the heart and soul. Above the head, a red halo symbolizes goodness, an eternal striving toward light and vivid emotions, contrasted by the horns, which illustrate an inner conflict with dark and destructive thoughts.

This figure personifies struggles with feelings of inferiority, sadness, and stagnation, entangled by roots that bind it in darkness. The mouth conveys profound sorrow, revealing how the weight of negative thoughts and emptiness affects the emotional state. This work invites reflection on the possibility of breaking free from this state and finding a sense of fulfillment, as well as balance between light and dark.
