- About This Collection:
- The purpose of the collection "Undefined Deity" is to fantasize a unity of different mythological worlds, and to reflect on the true definition of humanity. Mythologies were created by our ancestors as a sophisticated expression of human creativity, curiosity, spirituality, and cultural identity. By combining them into an integrated but different worldview, this collection allows deep investigation into the philosophical complexity of our origin, existence, and destiny.
