"The Snail’s Dream" is a mythological narrative solidified in form, hallowing the slowness of time and the patience of the soul. At the summit of a monolith-like structure—adorned with doors, windows, and labyrinthine stairs that echo past civilizations—stands a female figure like a guardian; in her palms, she carries a golden snail shell, a shimmering spiral symbolizing the infinite cycle of the universe, the golden ratio, and rebirth. While the trails spread across all four sides of the structure engrave the memories of this dignified traveler onto the surface like silver threads, the composition—blending the warmth of rust, the wisdom of oxide yellow, and the vital energy of green—invites the viewer to partake in this silent yet magnificent fairy tale of evolution stretching from the depths of the earth to the heavens.
