Project Overview

The concept of the "invisible guillotine" captures the silent, unseen forces shaping our world today. It represents hidden rules and motives that strip away our humanity, dignity, morality, and freedom without us even realizing it. This invisible blade cuts deeper than any physical weapon, affecting lives in subtle but profound ways. As an artist, I feel this loss personally. Fifty-one years of my life have slipped away — my childhood, my youth — all overshadowed by this relentless force. Alone in this vast world, I find solace only in the stars above. Yet, every night, I witness the bloodshed surrounding me. Despite striving to be kind and rhythmic in my actions, my spirit feels hollow, my emotions starved. This is but one example among many, reflecting a larger truth.

Expected Impact

This is universal truth in present time. Countless events unfold around us, visible yet hidden beneath the workings of this invisible guillotine. It aims to shatter time itself, erasing dreams and distorting reality. Whether driven by war, false hopes, flawed characters, or misguided motivations, this force threatens to undermine what we hold true. Recognizing it is the first step toward reclaiming our lost humanity and forging a path toward genuine freedom.
