In the series of paintings inspired by Viktor Frankl’s “Man’s Search for Meaning”, the emotional and psychological phases experienced by prisoners in a concentration camp are depicted.
1.“Shock”: This painting represents the abrupt impact and despair felt by prisoners upon entering the concentration camp, marked by confusion and terror in the face of the unknown and the brutality of their environment.
2.“Apathy and Dehumanization”: It symbolizes the phase where prisoners become numb to their surroundings and suffering as a defense mechanism, reflecting the loss of identity and humanity under extreme conditions of oppression.
3.“Meaning and Hope”: The final painting suggests a transformation, with a mix of light and darkness, reflecting the moment when Frankl finds a purpose despite the adverse circumstances, symbolizing the possibility of finding meaning even amidst suffering.
Together, these paintings invite reflection on the depth of human experience, highlighting the capacity of the human spirit to find meaning and hope in the most adverse conditions, and emphasizing Frankl’s central message: the importance of finding purpose in life, regardless of the circumstances.
