Arkhano Ritual

Arkhano VI - The Lovers

I created this piece in 2020 and now a dear friend of mine in Bremen found one of my artworks while she was at the where she works. She recognized my signature and told me that two people had walked in dancing with the painting in their hands. They were quite drunk in the end up forget to eat there. I had not seen that piece in a long time. It had ended up on the street somehow since I no longer felt able to keep it on any wall near me, since it portrayed me and my ex. It seems the painting was searching for a new place to exist. Hearing that it found a new home with someone who was genuinely happy to have it made me feel unexpectedly at peace.

Moments like this remind me that art often transcends the artist. Once a piece leaves our hands, it begins a life of its own. It carries our memories, our emotions and our history, but it also becomes something independent. It finds new meanings through the eyes of others. It is a quiet way of learning that creation is not possession. What we make can outgrow us, heal us and eventually belong to the world more than to our past.

Since ancient times, the rabbit has appeared in myths as a messenger between worlds, a symbol of rebirth and mystery. In some cultures, it guards the Moon. In others, it is a clever spirit that cheats death and returns, faster and wiser each time.

They say that when a rabbit crosses your path, change is near a reminder that cycles never end they only transform.

The rabbit is not just a fragile, silent creature. It is the reflection of instinct, fertility, and life itself, always reborn after the longest winter.
