The horse in this work is not a traditional pictorial subject; it is an ontological entity that transcends its visual representation, becoming a metaphor for the human being in their struggle against the boundaries of existence Its emergence beyond the frame can be read as a metaphysical act — a refusal to be confined within a single moment in time, and simultaneously, a declaration of the possibility of liberation from the pre-constructed narratives that limit the human experience The sea — with all its darkness, depth, and uncertainty — becomes here an archive of the collective unconscious, where existential burdens and obstacles accumulate in the form of turbulent waves. From within this scene, the horse’s leap emerges as a transformative moment, akin to a second birth: a passage from drowning in barriers to reaching the horizon of transcendence, from sinking under the weight of the waves to ascending into a space that transcends both frame and time The artwork relies on realism and augmented reality technology, which dismantles the boundaries of the traditional canvas and redefines the relationship between the viewer and the artwork. Through this intersection, the horse is not presented as a mere image but as a presence that extends beyond the pictorial surface into the perceptual space of the observer :What is presented here is a philosophical question made to manifest Will the human being remain imprisoned within their frame — the frame of their limitations and habits? — or will they leap like the horse, beyond their box into a vaster space of freedom ARTWORK INFO Media: oil on canvas + Augmented Reality size: 200 x 150 cm Year: 2025 Country: Oman, Muscat
