XIIIORA captures a moment when what is constant and established begins to shift—disintegrating under the influence of the modern digital wave, dissolving into constituent grains, and reassembling into something new. Titled XIIIORA, the work embodies a coded moment where mystery and transformation intertwine. The number XIII carries the mystical power of change, signaling the birth of something new. ORA, echoing the Latin hora (hour), symbolizes the turning point—the moment when stillness gives way to movement and time unlocks the doors to freedom. XIIIORA is the crossroads of the unknown and the possible—a moment when everything changes.
