“Witch Alchemy is a series of magical realism illustrations thatexplore a witch’s alchemical journey. The concept is to visually parallel the stages ofalchemy with emotional, physical, and spiritual transformations experiencedduring puberty and personal growth. The project is structured around three layersof alchemical evolution: the magical origins of alchemy, its transition intoscience, and its ultimate role as a metaphor for spiritual awakening. Eachillustration captures key aspects of alchemical transformation, from the stage ofCalcination that symbolizes the chaotic beginnings (which also means breakingdown the ego spiritually), to the stage of Coagulation that symbolizes the finalenlightenment (which also means Wholeness and Fulfillment spiritually),symbolizing the trials of self-discovery and the journey to inner wisdom.”
