Short Description:
Epiphany marks the moment when the body is no longer understood as a site of extraction, shame, or survival, but as a source. The figure appears in an intimate, ecstatic state, surrounded by mosaic, shells, braided hair, gold, and serpent-like forms. What may first read as pleasure becomes a spiritual and political revelation: the body belongs to itself. It generates power, knowledge, life, and transformation from within. This work closes one arc of the series by returning the body to sensation, desire, and creation. Nothing is missing. Nothing is waiting to be restored. The body is the beginning.
