Opening the maya veil

Description

It could be hard to explain because it's inspired by the philosophy of Schopenhauer in The World as Will and Representation.
I will try to explain simply, but maybe it will be hard to explain completely
In this text, the essence of all the phenomenon is the Will. It appear as a multitude of phenomenon because it appear in the principium individuationis of space, time and causality. But Will is out of this principum. The multiplicity is an illusion of the world of phenomenon, so Schopenhauer use the picture of the maya veil to speak of the fact of seeing multiplicity of phenomenon because it's not seeing or knowing the "thing-in-itself".

So, the woman here is opening the maya veil. There is a picture of nebula on it because she see beyond the universe of phenomenon, an illusion, and see "the one" the substance of Will.

She has a light in the heart, the same light that represents the Will (beyond the universe of phenomenon, beyond the maya veil). Why ?
It's because, for Schopenhauer we can know the Will by observing the force that is our soul and animate our own body. (We are phenomenon but linked  to the "thing-in-itself")

There is city on the sides of the central path. There is ondulations to  show that this world of phenomenon is an illusion.
Made with vue and model of woman from daz.

Maybe it could be use as a wallpaper.
