Introduction
This conceptual illustration is a visual representation of the powerful message in "Blindness" by José Saramago, a book that explores the human condition in its state of alienation.
The Eye of Vision
At the center of the composition, an eye represents vision, the starting point of our journey. The road emerging from this eye symbolizes the path of existence, the journey we all undertake throughout life.
The Character at the Crossroads
At the entrance of the eye, we encounter a character at a moment of decision. He represents each one of us, faced with crucial choices in our lives.
The Conflict of Duality: Jelly and Letters
Within the eye, the composition is divided into two distinct halves. On one side, the texture of jelly portrays alienation, the state of blindness caused by ignorance and a lack of knowledge.
On the other side, the half with a texture of letters symbolizes knowledge and wisdom. Here, a staircase leads to a road that culminates in a pair of glasses, representing the ability to see the world clearly through knowledge.
The Journey of Liberation and Discovery
The presence of the staircase beyond the glasses suggests that the pursuit of knowledge is a continuous journey. As we ascend the stairs, we are led to new horizons, drawing closer to a genuine understanding of the world around us.
This artwork explores the concept that knowledge is the key to liberation and to seeing beyond the constraints of alienation.
In conclusion, thank you for dedicating your time and attention all the way to the end. Thank you!
