Elianne van Turennout Profile picture Discover the deeper meaning of transformation and renewal with this powerful image manipulation in which a foot rests on a dwarf, symbolising the ego that must be broken to enable new beginnings. Inspired by the image of Shiva at CERN, the world's largest particle accelerator, this artwork invites viewers to reflect on the costs and sacrifices involved in personal growth and evolution.

In this image, the ego is depicted as a dwarf, small and limiting. Crushing this dwarf under our feet symbolises the difficult but necessary act of overcoming our own ego. This process of self-destruction and rebirth raises the question: what price do we pay for this renewed start?

The allegory of Shiva at CERN reinforces this message. Shiva, the god of destruction and rebirth, represents the cosmic dance of life and death, in which the cycles of destruction and creation follow each other endlessly. This artwork reminds us of the inevitable sacrifices required for transformation, and the emotional and psychological struggles that can accompany them.

This image is perfect for art lovers, spiritual seekers and those interested in philosophical themes. It offers an invitation to introspection and reminds us of the value of change and the courage needed to overcome our ego and grow.

It all started with a4 paper and HB pencils. As a child I was often impressed by how beautiful the world around me was. The urge to capture this beautiful world, and to show the people around me what I saw, was actually there from the beginning. If I remember correctly, I was about eleven years old when I first met the camera. Of course it was a simple compact camera with a ridiculous quality, but I enjoyed it.

I sometimes said I wanted to be a photographer, but of course you have one of the two parents who says, "Dream on." Strangely enough, I followed the sarcastic remark as advice, and still went to study photography.
