“The Vermilion Gate”
$2,200
Acrylic Paint on Zero Skate Deck
In Daoist alchemy, the Vermilion Gate is both a physical and spiritual threshold—the passage where vital essence is refined into spirit, and the seeker ascends to a higher state of being. In Western alchemy, vermilion marks the final stage, the rubedo, when transformation is complete and the self is made whole. Here, the tiger stands as guardian of this sacred crossing, fierce yet patient, allowing passage only to those tempered by the journey and ready to claim their perfected form.
