About the Work
This artwork embodies the idea that the world we perceive as "reality" is not a real image but a virtual one, and that mystery and beauty lie hidden precisely at the boundary between reality and illusion. The ancient philosopher Plato described humans as prisoners confined in a cave, where the sunlight streaming in casts the shadows of the world of Ideas onto the wall, and they mistake these shadows for reality. Yet what truly matters is not the truth itself, but the hope people hold and their joy in living — and even their sorrow and their foolishness, all of which God graciously embraces, enveloping everyone equally with love.
