Impressions… The Black Virgin transforms a personal homage to the gothic metal band Virgin Black into a profound meditation on suffering and survival. It challenges traditional notions of resilience, suggesting that true strength lies in enduring hardships rather than achieving triumphs. The piece culminates not in redemption but in an acceptance of weariness, intertwined with a haunting sense of hope echoed in a melodic chant.
Is it possible that genuine strength is often found in our most vulnerable moments, and how might we redefine success in the shadow of suffering?
