The Hidden God and the Forgotten Gospel
Before the fall, the Pleroma shines as divine Fullness, with Sophia poised at the threshold before rupture.
The gallery brings together the visual archive of The Gnostic Key. Each collection is rooted in a specific episode, tradition or investigation. Some works are luminous and devotional, others dark, symbolic or confrontational. Together they form a visual map of the project.
