In Defeat of Knowledge , Perlita Ferri stages the fall of the individual in the face of their own certainties. A winged woman, both celestial and vulnerable, seems suspended in a pivotal moment—the moment when the light of reason clashes with human fragility.
The wings, powerful yet tattered, evoke the tension between spiritual aspiration and the gravity of the earthly world. The dark background acts as a mirror to the unconscious, absorbing the dazzling whiteness of the feathers and the golden reflections of the flowing hair.
Through this dramatic contrast, the artist conveys the loss of bearings, the disillusionment that precedes any inner transformation.
Far from being a tragic fall, this defeat becomes an initiatory passage: the abandonment of fixed knowledge in favor of living knowledge, derived from experience and emotion.
