Let’s Go Away for Awhile
by Keith Malone
A moment of extreme psychic tension; a threshold between death and the birth of a new self. Drawing from the mythic birth of Hades, god of the underworld. The self is not gently transformed, but dragged into becoming through the internal collapse of the old. It captures the final stage of psychic compression, when the old self has nearly died but has not yet released the new form. Visually, the body is curled, veined, and clenched a deathly shell of flesh containing a smoldering coal. The figure doesn’t represent new life in the traditional sense but the emergence of a consciousness forged in the aftermath of trauma, a self that could only exist because the former one didn’t survive. The figure is a tomb and a womb simultaneously. It gives context to the flesh as both container and evidence; the skin of the old self wrapped tightly around the genesis of the next. The myth of Hades doesn’t end in joy or closure; it hovers in the trauma of transition, the brutality of transformation, and the sacred violence of becoming something that has never existed in one’s self before.
