The artwork captures the image of a cat's mirror reflection behind a veil, evoking a mysterious portrait and a gateway to endless perceptions and imagination. In Zen Buddhism, the mirror symbolizes the mind, reflecting reality as it is without judgment or bias. The artwork's metaphor of the unenlightened mind suggests that the mind's reflection can be distorted by illusions and delusions, leading to a misinterpretation of reality.
The veil in the artwork serves as a symbol of ignorance, hindering the mind's ability to perceive reality clearly. The artwork encourages the viewer to question their perceptions and look beyond the veil of ignorance to gain a deeper understanding of reality. Overall, the artwork is a visual representation of the concept of the search for enlightenment and an invitation to explore the nature of the mind and perception.
