"Birth is not the beginning of life—only of an individual awareness. Change into another state is not death—only the ending of this awareness." — Hermes Trismegistus
"Trismegistus" is a monumental visual journey into the heart of Hermetic wisdom and Ancient Egyptian theology. This 70×100 cm masterpiece is a profound gathering of cosmic forces, featuring the intricate representations of Thoth, Horus, Atum, and Khonsu. It serves as a visual meditation on the eternal cycle of existence, transitioning between states of being through the precision of contemporary paper artistry.
The Sacred Geometry of Paper
In this expansive 70×100 cm composition, the high-relief technique is used to create a sacred dialogue between light and shadow. By hand-manipulating thousands of paper strips, the artwork becomes a tactile manuscript of ancient secrets.
Divine Assemblage: Each deity is meticulously crafted with specific paper patterns—Thoth’s wisdom, Horus’s protection, Atum’s creative force, and Khonsu’s lunar path are all woven into a cohesive narrative.
Architectural Flow: The use of high-relief paper strips allows the complex iconography to rise from the surface, creating a "topography of the divine" that changes dynamically as the viewer moves around the piece.
Hermetic Textures: The integration of traditional motifs with modern on-edge paper construction serves as a "bridge across millennia," echoing the timeless nature of the Emerald Tablet.
