Coming soon to
Kukie
Kukie stands for known unknown.
Its the amount of unknown the protagonist has known so far.
He exists in two forms, the high frequency and mid frequency.
The high frequency Kukie glows with a neon light. He is interfaced with the flower of interconnectedness.
The mid frequency Kukie has a metallic sheen. He is not interfaced with the flower of interconnectedness.
High frequency Kukie explores spiritual and philosophical dimensions.
The mid frequency Kukie explores emotions and psychology.
Kukie emerged out of two of my previous visionary style artworks. Those two are called proto Kukies. In this series I am developing him as a character. You are witnessing this evolution along with me.

Artwork #1
Ishiki - Kukie explores awareness
Resolution - 5785x8190 pixels
Ishiki is the Japanese word for awareness. In this artwork Kukie explores awareness.
Kukie becomes aware when the flower of interconnectedness attaches to him.
When Kukie becomes aware, he sees through the layers of filters that has been clouding his visions.
The filters were created the moment he was born. Male/female. That was the first filter. Then came skin colour, nationality, culture, religion, dogmas, social memes and so many more.
When he sheds the layers of the filters he was seeing the world with, he finds his real self. The Kukie without a name. The Kukie without tags. The real self.
That self awareness sets him so free that he begins to float. That self is timeless that the the moving tunnel of time pauses.
Kukie realises that he is everything and nothing at the same time.

Artwork # 2
#2 Emotion Gun - Kukie explores emotions
Resolution - 6000X7000 pixels
Kukie realizes that a lot of the emotions that he feels are not really his own.
They are the output created by the years of conditioning, experiences, trauma and cultural memes.
In short what he expresses are the emotions and reaction patterns created in his head by the world.
The flower of interconnectedness hasn't interfaced with Kukie in this image.

Artwork #3
The reset - Kukie contemplates on Global warming
Resolution - 4096x6000 pixels
Gaia, the mother life system of planet earth is one conscious being that manifests through every living being on this planet.
Kukie becomes aware of this interconnected web of life and the effect of global warming and climate change on its balance. This awareness makes him realize that mother Gaia is in a process of resetting herself.
Kukie is standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid of land based life systems. Yet that entire pyramid is submerged too. After all the flower of interconnectedness is connected to every thing.
The consciousness of Gaia is at the top of the image. Then the melting glaciers. The wolves and fish at the top represents the higher altitude life systems. The great ape represents the plains. The shark and jellyfish for the ocean. The turtle behind Kukie connects the oceanic life system and its wisdom to the land based life system.
