"The weight of the world is love.

Under the burden of loneliness

under the burden of dissatisfaction the weight we carry is love”

Love is the ferryman who carries the weight of the soul.

"Charon" is a work that, through a quote from Allen Ginsberg, elevates the concept of love to a primordial force, the only one capable of bearing the weight of all human emotions: loneliness, dissatisfaction, and desire.

Just as Charon ferried souls across the river, love is depicted here as the energy that carries us through life's trials.

The figure is immersed in dark, red tones, which recall both the depths of the afterlife and fiery passion.

In large format (A3) and made on 100% cotton paper, this piece is a profound statement that suffering and love are two sides of the same, precious coin.
