Katarsis

Katarsis, in its exact meaning, refers to "emotional release" and "spiritual purification." It represents achieving purity by expelling the accumulated inner scream.

The white face mask on the ground stands before the figure, representing the "persona" or social mask that an individual wears in society.

The moment of katarsis is when the mask falls. The figure has shed the heavy burden or false identity from their face; there is nothing left to hide. This symbolizes a return to the soul's nakedness and honesty.

The standing figure's lack of distinct facial features is designed to convey that it is not an individual but rather a "universal human being."
