Painting by Pavlo Melnyk

Inspired by the eternal living nature, and contemplating it, you almost enter a meditative state. You begin to notice barely noticeable changes, movements, drops of water that the plant begins to secrete. It is especially interesting to contemplate the monstera. Its very name is very metaphorical. Monstera is probably because of its bizarre, wide, holey leaves or perhaps because of its roots, which crawl out of the pot like worms in search of something tasty. Each hole in its leaf is like a small portal to the afterlife. The snake as a symbol of 2025 acts as a symbol of adaptation and flexibility to certain conditions that arise in the present. The candle is a symbol of truth, purification, it is attributed with the ability to protect against evil. So the candle and the snake act as certain guardians of the portals, representing that unholy entities will not be able to pass through.
