Sublimatio Vitae, 2023

Collage on canvas

When a solid turns directly to gas without passing through the liquid phase, scientists call it sublimation. Alchemists call it sublimatio.

Sublimatio Vitae is an exploration of the things that shove us off the edge of planning, reason, logic, and safety, and into the unknown. It is a risk. It is a step off the cliff. Whatever you thought could be before is shattered and a new reality cracks open.
