Curatorial Statement

The Angel of Uncertainty embodies a spiritual presence that exists within doubt, transition, and unresolved faith. This angel does not offer answers; instead, it remains present during moments when clarity is absent. The elongated vertical format reinforces a sense of suspension—an in-between state where direction is not yet defined, and the soul is still listening.

Executed in a German Expressionist figurative abstract language, the figure emerges through soft erosion rather than sharp definition. The face appears fragile, contemplative, and partially veiled, suggesting vulnerability instead of authority. The brushwork is restrained yet emotional, allowing uncertainty itself to shape the form. The surrounding tones—muted greens, pale blues, and worn neutrals—create an atmosphere of quiet hesitation and inner searching.

This angel represents the sacred role of uncertainty in spiritual growth. Rather than opposing faith, doubt becomes a necessary space where trust is tested and refined. The Angel of Uncertainty stands as a guardian of transition, reminding the viewer that not knowing is also part of believing, and that even in moments of hesitation, divine presence remains.
