In this piece, the octopus’s fluid form represents the ever-changing nature of truth and perception.
The intricate decorations enhance the illustration, emphasizing the idea that truth can be multi-faceted and elusive. The black and white palette adds a timeless quality, stripping away distractions and focusing attention on the essence of the message.
"The Flexible Truth" challenges viewers to embrace ambiguity and complexity. It serves as a reminder that truth is not always straightforward, and flexibility in thought and perspective can lead to deeper insights. This artwork is perfect for those who appreciate both the beauty of abstract art and the profound symbolism of the natural world.
"Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day." ― Rainer Maria Rilke
