This painting filled with myth, memory, and echoes of centuries- old questions. Questions from the place where creation hesitates. At the heart of the composition is Pandora, the first woman in Greek mythology, condemned and yet curious, holding the infamous box that unleashed all suffering upon the world - war, sickness, despair - leaving only hope at the bottom. Her expression is unreadable: guilt, defiance, or perhaps something deeper? Around her swirl layered references. Dante Alighieri climbing through the inferno in search of Beatrice, echoing a love so vast it defied hell itself. A nod to 15th century memento mori paintings, where youth and death are intertwined. A reminder that vitality is always on borrowed time. And as, with Adam and Eve, the act of opening of tasting the forbidden, becomes the catalyst of transformation, exile, and knowledge.
