"Prometheus Unbound" is a sequel of sorts to the ancient Greek tragedy "Prometheus Bound" traditionally attributed to Aeschylus.  
It is a four-act lyrical drama by Percy Bysshe Shelley, first published in 1820.

In the original Greek myth, Prometheus is a Titan who defies the gods by stealing fire and giving it to humanity, an act that enabled progress and civilization. 
As punishment for this theft, Zeus, the king of the gods, orders Prometheus to be chained to a rock where an eagle eats his liver daily; it would regenerate overnight, only to be eaten again the next day in an ongoing cycle of perpetual torment.

Shelley's "Prometheus Unbound" does not follow the traditional narrative. Instead, it reimagines the ending of the story to reflect the poet's own views on oppression and liberation. In Shelley's version, Prometheus is eventually released from his chains. 
The drama focuses on the themes of resistance to tyranny, the power of the human mind, and the potential for humanity to be redeemed from its own self-imposed chains.

The play opens with Prometheus still bound to the rock, but instead of submitting to despair, he remains defiant against Zeus's tyranny. He is visited by the Oceanides, the daughters of Oceanus, who offer him their sympathy, but Prometheus is steadfast in his resolve. He refuses Zeus's offer of a pardon in exchange for submission, showing his commitment to his ideals and to humanity.

"Prometheus Unbound" stands as a poetic manifesto for human rights and individual freedom, as well as a piece of Romantic literature that emphasizes the sublime power of nature and the human spirit.

Everything ravaged, everything burned, everything is damaged.

The witch enters the city and brings horror. Horrible things begin to happen. People begin to disappear, it is as if something or someone is controlling the city. Silence begins to spread throughout the city as the citizens begin to fear the witch that enters the cursed city. They flee to the castle where they seek refuge. But as the terror mounts, is the horrible witch to blame or something far worse?

In the grandeur of the Basilica of St. Peter in Rome, the air crackled with an electrifying anticipation. 
It was Christmas Day in the year 800, and the hallowed halls echoed with the whispered prayers of clergy and the shimmering glow of countless candles.

At the heart of this sacred space stood Charlemagne, a towering figure with a flowing beard and a countenance that reflected both the weight of his responsibilities and the magnitude of the moment. 

As the murmurs of the crowd hushed to a reverent silence, Pope Leo III, adorned in his papal vestments, stepped forward to crown Charlemagne as the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

The pontiff's hands trembled slightly as he raised the imperial crown, a symbol of authority that echoed the grandeur of the Roman emperors of old. 
With a deliberate and ceremonial grace, Pope Leo III placed the crown upon Charlemagne's head, signifying the divine endorsement of his rule over the vast territories that stretched across Europe.

The echoes of the acclamation "Carolo Augusto, a Deo coronato, magno et pacifico imperatori, vita et victoria!" (To Charles the August, crowned by God, the great and peaceful emperor, life and victory!) resonated through the Basilica, reaching the ears of the faithful and the heavens alike.

As the newly crowned Emperor knelt in solemn gratitude, the assembled multitude erupted into jubilant cheers, their voices rising to the vaulted ceilings in celebration of a new era. 

Charlemagne's eyes, reflective of a lifetime of conquests and leadership, betray a mixture of humility and solemn acceptance. 

The Coronation of Charlemagne marked not only the revival of imperial authority in the West but also the synthesis of Roman and Christian ideals, laying the foundation for the Holy Roman Empire and shaping the course of medieval European history. 

The Basilica bore witness to this historic convergence of earthly and divine authority, as Charlemagne, now crowned and anointed, ascended to the pinnacle of medieval governance and spiritual leadership.

In the realm of mythology, duality can be seen as a symbolic representation of the eternal struggle between opposing forces, specifically, the concepts of lightness and darkness.

Together, they create a captivating narrative that explores the interplay between these contrasting elements, inviting viewers to contemplate the intricate balance between light and darkness within the human experience.

The woman, adorned with a white wing, embodies purity, serenity, and transcendence. 
She represents the ethereal realms, embodying qualities of enlightenment, spiritual awakening, and the boundless potential for growth and transformation.
Her presence emanates positive energy and invokes a sense of harmony and peace.

On the other side of the diptych, the man emerges with dark colors, symbolizing mystery, depth, and introspection.
He embodies the shadow self, the hidden recesses of the psyche where fears, doubts, and primal instincts reside.
His depiction invokes a sense of introspective intensity, inviting viewers to delve into the depths of their own subconscious and confront the complexities of their inner selves.

As the dual paintings come together as one unified piece, they symbolize the inherent duality within human nature. 
The juxtaposition of the woman and the man represents the eternal dance between light and darkness, good and evil, creation and destruction. 
They remind us that within every individual, these opposing forces coexist and influence our thoughts, emotions, and actions.
And invites viewers to reflect upon their own inner journey, encouraging introspection, self-discovery, and the harmonization of the light and dark aspects within ourselves.

Grid of duality

There are always two sides to a coin.
Everything is dual.
Man and Woman.
love and forgiveness
ugly and beautiful.
Hero and Villain.
Lightness and Darkness.
Good and Evil.
Black and White.
Yes, the two sides of a coin.

Myths—they show us how things really are. 
The mythological stories don't paint a perfect picture; they show us the grey areas of life and those areas which have two different aspects to them. 
They show us the true nature of the universe.
I like this concept because it gives me hope for humanity's future. It tells me that we as people can change, we can transcend our limitations and evolve into better beings if we stay open-minded enough.

Inside every human being, there is always a war between good and evil. 
In the end, which side of the human being wins this war determines what kind of person you are.

Who knows what will happen when we are gone, but we should cherish the things we do have.

Dark clouds follow us 
Uncertainty haunts us 
Ghosts of the past creep up
Body shaking unstoppable 
Breathing gets faster 
Catching air gets harder
Can I get back to calm?
How to find that light
The one that helps me fight?

Be your authentic self
Spread that light you hold within 
The illusion is in our minds 
Why do you hold on to it tight?
Do you like the intensity 
Or simply can’t get serenity!?
Breath… breath… that’s right 
Breath… breath… 
Feel that… peace within 
Always remember to breath 
Your light and life 
Lay within your reach

Echoes of Calm

In life, we all face challenges, whether they be external obstacles or internal struggles with our own thoughts and emotions. However, it is the ability to rise above these challenges, to find strength in the face of adversity, that defines the human spirit.
this piece is a celebration of the human spirit's ability to rise above adversity, to find light even in the darkest of circumstances, and to embrace the liberating power of freedom.
The woman's upward gaze and the upward motion of her body in the painting suggest a journey towards light, towards liberation and freedom from the dark thoughts and feelings that can sometimes weigh us down. It is a journey that requires courage, perseverance, and a willingness to embrace change.

This piece is about a quiet, gentle redemption.
No sudden light, no sacred cry.
Only a human who has become the earth.
A place for blooming, for birth,
for the soft landing of birds.

He no longer fights.
He has simply accepted,
accepted that he is rooted, that he is wounded.
And that is why beauty can now pass through him.

He is a man who collapsed,
but became the ground,
and on his soil, life came to rest.
