Lifeness (Cake of Life)
This artwork is an imaginative reflection on the stages of life, where the artist uses symbols like a birthday cake to represent critical moments such as Birth, Hope, Process, Gratitude, and Peace. The "Cake of Life" symbolizes the journey towards goodness, salvation, and eternity, inspired by the Christian concept of the "bread of life." Moreover, I emphasize that the actual value of life lies not in worldly achievements but in a balanced existence that harmonizes worldly and spiritual needs, ultimately expressing profound gratitude to the Creator and others.
