This Sacred work is an expression of Primordial Power in simple form. It is a representation of the Philosopher's Stone recognized by modern Alchemists of the Wunashakoun  tradition. It is sealed by the primordial dragon Ko, whose being is Darkness and Night as quantum Chaos opposes Fate and rigid determinism. This dragon is also positioned similarly to the famed Ouroboros of alchemical literature and artistry. The circular motif of this painting is representative of the intrinsic wholeness of life, in ways which transcend linear reasoning. Transcendence, then, is the core of this piece. Each spiral becomes omni-dimensional, relating to each sphere, circle, and line which composes it. Although this piece is restricted by physical medium, it asks the viewer to think abstractly and imagine the subject expanding through all dimensions of existence. The appendages of Ko are representative of the planes of existence as they relate to one another and to the densities of spectral light implied by their neighboring colors. The six rayed star in the middle is representative of imminent totalities of light and dark, and the primordial forces which emerge by their relation as a consequence of existence itself. The silver box and the golden sphere it encases are the Conscious and Unconscious forces of Consciousness as such, which is represented by the red eye of Ko. It breaks the linearity of light and dark to reveal spectral forms and nonlinear qualities permeating this piece. Meditation upon this painting is a common practice for those seeking deeper metaphysical understanding of life. You are invited to share freely of this loving spiritual and boon, and especially while engaging in altered states of consciousness.

This is a Wunashakoun artistic representation of the Tree of Life, as understood from a mystical and qualitatively driven perspective. The whole piece illustrates the Spirit World as it appears within each person, and focuses especially on esoteric truths of being. The piece itself is ambiguously formed, and the viewer is asked to interpret that as the meaning being in a sort of quantum state, revealing a spectrum of ideas one can pull out of thin air to organize and associate. This connects the viewer with the nature of the elements within the work, and reveals its true meaning. The light of the sun trickles in to reach the hidden pinecone in the Tree of Life as the Rose of Souls blooms at its core, just above the Waters of Life, rest the Flower of Life, and the Womb of Creation. The roots of the Tree of Life extend deep below the water into the Earth; They grow back upwards and morph into water lotuses to soak up more divine light to feed The Worlds. Under the whole painting is a layer of metallic green paint, which was applied in stochastic strokes to emulate the sustainably sporadic nature of life itself. The Waters of Life are guarded by a ring of burnt sienna acrylic paint, which creates wonderful shadows that bleed and blend into the canvas with as much ease as a key change in a symphony. The pink blossom petals on the ground and on the water represent the quintessential nature of life and its tendency to spread and become death. This is all broken up by the water lotuses and the waves they make in the water, bending the light and leaving gradient light blue streaks on the cerulean base layer. Ultimately, it is the simplistic ugliness of this piece that brings it to life, and makes its points well hidden to those who have not mastered their profanity with their divinity.
