Some mountains are not found on a map. They live within us. “Where the Soul Rises” captures the moment when the soul stands before everything that once tried to break it. Beneath the darkness, there is colour. Beneath the chaos, there is movement. Beneath the cold, there is still life. The mountain is not simply a mountain — it is every battle we survived, every silence we endured, and every step we took when nobody was watching. I created this piece as a reminder that strength doesn’t always look beautiful while we’re living through it. Sometimes, it looks like darkness. Sometimes, it looks like falling apart. And sometimes… it becomes the most powerful thing we have ever created. ‘You don’t collect the mountain. You collect the feeling of having survived it.”
