66 Caelothrix umbralis

Description

Caelothrix umbralis—celestial threads of shadow—draws a connection between the unseen forces of life and the visible patterns they create much like the genus Calothrix, an ancient cyanobacterium shaping ecosystems. Vertical filaments weave through light and shadow, linking the celestial and terrestrial while evoking a profound tension between order and chaos. These forms—resembling roots, reeds, or neural pathways—veil a fractured, vibrant world beneath, a liminal space where the hidden meets the revealed.
The painting invites introspection, reflecting existence as both fragmented and unified, rooted yet ascending. Its repetition of forms becomes meditative, like pathways through thought or a labyrinthine psyche, where chaos transforms into method and fragmentation into harmony. It is both a boundary and a portal, urging the viewer to transcend into deeper layers of perception.
