Painted Side
In the center of the painting, Scarlett Rouge embarked on a quest to visually manifest negative or traumatic emotions, entwined with their corresponding organs, in alignment with the essence of the opening ceremony.
On the left side of the composition, intricate depictions of the chakras emerge, each painted in vibrant hues symbolizing the energy centers of the body. The two chakras nearest to the center are notably larger, their forms intertwining to symbolize the harmonious balance achieved when the lower and higher centers unite within the sacred space of the green heart center. Here, the convergence of energies invites contemplation on the integration of physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of existence, fostering a profound sense of inner equilibrium and wholeness.
To the right, an homage to previous ceremonies unfolds through the portrayal of the four archangels as sacred triangles, each imbued with the elemental energies they represent. These divine figures serve as symbolic guardians, their ethereal presence evoking the transformative power of the elements—earth, air, fire, and water. Within each triangle resides objects emblematic of their elemental domain, evoking a sense of reverence and connection to the natural world. Through this portrayal, Scarlett Rouge invites viewers to embrace the transcendent wisdom of the archangels, guiding them on a journey of spiritual awakening and self-discovery.
Together, these mystical elements converge to create a profound tableau, inviting viewers to explore the depths of their inner landscapes and embark on a transformative journey of healing and self-realization. Through artful expression, Scarlett Rouge channels the collective consciousness, illuminating the path toward wholeness and enlightenment.

Plaster Side:
In the central piece, Scarlett Rouge has employed the same imagery as in "Spiritual Tourism," with the rays of the ancient Egyptian sun god positioned above. Here, this figure symbolizes the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
On the left side of the painting, the mystical elements come together in a profound symbiosis. The Celtic tree alphabet, known for its ancient connection to nature and the spiritual realm, spells out the enigmatic phrase, "Death is the seeds from which I grow." This phrase encapsulates the idea of transformation and rebirth, where death is not an end but a beginning, akin to seeds that germinate and give rise to new life.
Above this profound inscription stands the formidable figure of the Goddess Maat, a central deity in ancient Egyptian religion. Maat embodies truth, justice, and cosmic order, serving as the arbiter of balance and harmony in the universe. Associated with Thoth, the god of wisdom and writing, Maat presided over the judgment of the dead, a pivotal moment symbolized by the scales of justice. Here, the weighing of the heart against Maat's feather determines one's fate in the afterlife, reflecting the eternal struggle between light and darkness, truth and falsehood.
Below Maat, a stellated tetrahedron or MERKABA radiates its mystical energy. The MERKABA is a potent symbol of spiritual ascension and transformation, representing the divine vehicle through which one's consciousness can journey across the cosmic realms. Surrounding the MERKABA is the Egyptian symbol for KA, signifying the life force or spirit that transcends physical existence. In ancient Egyptian belief, the KA was the essence of an individual, separated from the body at death yet requiring meticulous preparation to ensure a safe passage to the afterlife. Thus, the symbolism evokes the profound mysteries of existence and the journey of the soul beyond mortal confines.
At the apex of the composition, the scales of justice hover, poised for the ultimate judgment. Here, the soul's essence is measured against the divine standard of truth and righteousness, as represented by Maat's feather. This cosmic weighing symbolizes the quest for spiritual purity and enlightenment, wherein the soul seeks alignment with the divine order of the universe.
Together, these mystical elements weave a tapestry of profound significance, inviting contemplation on the eternal mysteries of life, death, and the journey of the soul through the vast expanse of the cosmos.
On the right, the soul descends into the lake of fire, the lava-filled womb of Mother Earth from which all are reborn. Below, a scarab beetle symbolizes rebirth and resurrection. At the top, the Egyptian five-pointed star symbolizes the underworld or Duat.
