Five metamorphoses unfold as a meditation on duality: each tableau a threshold between light and shadow, movement and silence.

I. Exordium — Horizon of the Two Sycamores

The mythic threshold where the sun is born — two sycamores guard the eastern gate, axis of polarity and invocation of Atum’s first breath.

II. Limen — Nile | Eridanus

Earthly river and celestial mirror; the Nile and Eridanus flow as dual currents joining matter and spirit.

III. Elevatio — Nymphaea | Papyrus

Elevation through vegetal symbolism: lotus and papyrus unite illumination and inscription.

IV. Coronatio — Polaris | Orion

Polaris, fixed star of orientation; Orion, eternal Osiris — tracing the axis of imperishability.

V. Epilogue — The Breath of Atum

Return to origin: creation through exhalation; music becomes breath again.
