Symbolic Color: "The Stairs of the Turbulent Sea"

We are The Stairs of the Turbulent Sea, two paintings woven with forgotten symbols. Symbols are an ancient language—a universal whisper that only a few can still hear. So let us speak to you.
Look at the sea that fills almost all of our space. It represents life—vast and overwhelming, yet also the daily weight in which humans are immersed. Its waters are dark, stormy, and restless, mirroring the struggles we endure. Steep cliffs rise at the horizon, like a wall with no clear way out.
But look closer. Amid the turmoil of the waves, a bright reflection shimmers on the surface. It is hope—subtle yet unyielding—shining at the heart of adversity. Beyond the cliffs, if you look carefully, there are stairs. Sometimes hidden, almost secret, they are paths leading to calmer skies.
The black-and-white stairs symbolize the paths of life, made of shadow and light, choices and dualities. Climb them, and a silver sky will greet you—a world of infinite possibilities and unexpected horizons.
If your steps take you to the golden stairs, another promise awaits. These golden steps hold the promise of inner transformation, mystery, and the discovery of your own truth.
We are here to remind you that, even in the turbulent sea of existence, there are always paths leading to something greater—to serenity, to renewal, to yourself.
