Helix Covenant captures a moment of personal transformation in Aurelio Milera’s life — a time of adapting to a new landscape, new realities, and the quiet pressure to reinvent oneself without losing origin or identity. Human, animal, and mythic forms intertwine like a living strand of DNA, suggesting a being shaped by migration, memory, and evolution.

Rendered in layered graphite, the drawing reveals a structure that is both fragile and resilient, shifting between one state and the next. Each contour hides another face, another gesture, another possibility — inviting viewers into a metamorphosis that feels intimate, universal, and still in motion.

A compelling piece for collectors drawn to works that embody change, introspection, and the mysteries of becoming.
