Description:

​

In "Kontroladong Tadhana," the artist explores themes of perception, power, and the intricacies of fate. Through a surreal composition, the viewer is confronted with a multitude of symbols and imagery that invite contemplation. The presence of multiple irised eyes suggests a heightened sense of awareness, perhaps symbolizing the various perspectives through which one can perceive reality. The prominent hand, adorned with eyes mirroring those found throughout the composition, hints at the notion of control and agency in shaping one's destiny.

Set against a backdrop reminiscent of a swirling galaxy, the scene takes on an otherworldly quality, prompting viewers to consider the vastness of the universe and their place within it. Amidst this cosmic tableau, a vulva symbol floats, surrounded by ribbons of sperm, evoking themes of creation, fertility, and the cyclical nature of life.

Through "Controlled Destiny," the artist invites viewers to question the forces that shape their lives, encouraging reflection on the interplay between choice and inevitability in the journey towards self-discovery and fulfillment.
