About the work:
The word “raptura”, from Medieval Latin, means “to seize”.
The concept of rapture can refer to the captivation of intense pleasure, joy, enthusiasm, or to be caught up into high and ecstatic states.

Although this “ineffable” state of deep abandon can hardly be measured or adequately described, it can be known. If invited with curiosity, it’s mystery seduces and enlivens one with passion. It's evident in the urge to create, to know love, to persevere, and to party. A yearning to live fully.
 
When your reality unravels in the face of what confounds you:
Be raptured.
