This is an edited scan of acrylic ink painting done in 2020 to finally fixate an event known as the confrontation with the shadow.It is known as the ‘Kingdom Within‘ or the ‘the kingdom is a certain woman’. It is not performance art but an act on the stage between life and death.The individual experience may differ due to culture and conditioning however the life giving principle here is rebirth..In the certificate it is mentioned as an authentic hard knocks yet beautiful experience.It is not a different worldview but a reality."The shadow, when it is realized, is the source of renewal; the new and productive impulse cannot come from established values of the ego.'' _ quote psychoanalytic as well as " The Black Madonna has been compared to personages in other cultures and spiritual traditions, including Persephone of the Underworld, Kali, and Isis. These are goddesses or deities whose rule lies within the dominion of surrender, death and rebirth. From the perspective of the ego, they are lethal forces. But without yielding to this composting and transcendent energy, no transformation is possible and therefore no renewal of life-force." _ The Dark Feminine / Jung Page It is/was my enlightenment.
