Transmutation is a powerful and deeply spiritual sculpture, symbolizing the journey of rising above life’s challenges to a higher, purer state. The central figure is immersed in radiant gold, representing the divine light that shields and uplifts, even as they are surrounded by nails—symbols of tests and trials that come with the path of transformation. The nails, embedded in the wood, evoke the hardships we all face, yet the figure remains protected, bathed in the golden light of God, transcending the lower vibrations of fear and doubt.
The process of transmutation is visualized through this figure, illustrating how, moment by moment, thought by thought, we can choose to rise above the effluvia—those lower energies—and walk in divine trust. The gold that envelops the figure represents the dross falling away, leaving behind only the purified essence, the golden liquid light of the soul. This piece speaks to the spiritual alchemy of overcoming, of transforming challenges into stepping stones toward higher consciousness.
Inspired by both spiritual principles and even the studies of quantum physics, Transmutation reflects how energy follows attention, guiding us to elevate our focus and intentions. The figure, though nearly fully immersed, still shows the nose and mouth, suggesting the ongoing nature of the process of becoming fully enveloped in divine light. This artwork is a testament to the power of trust and faith, where the soul is untouched by fear and continues to ascend to greater heights, leaving behind only what is sacred and eternal
