"Ephialtes," made of reflective stainless steel, invites viewers into a surreal exploration of the human subconscious, evoking a dreamscape where reality and illusion meld.
The half steel sphere, seemingly complete due to its mirror's reflection, symbolizes the concealed depths of the mind, the hidden connection between dreams and nightmares. Ephialtes represents the torment of nightmares and the obscure aspects of our inner world.
As viewers approach, they see their own distorted reflections on the sphere's surface, emphasizing the intimate connection between the artwork and the observer's psyche. "Ephialtes" encourages introspection, inviting us to confront the shadows within, transforming the nightmare into a captivating journey of self-discovery.
