Felix Culpa by Traumwelt
The term "Felix Culpa" is Latin for "Happy Fall", and it refers to the Renaissance idea that Adam and Eve's Fall from the Garden of Eden was necessary and beautiful, because it gave us knowledge.
However, the term also has personal meaning in my mind. Love is in itself a "Felix Culpa", because it speaks to the vulnerabilities and turbulence associated with completely devoting oneself to another person, hence the "Fall". Nevertheless, it also ignites within us an extraordinary feeling of elation and weightlessness.
Thus, love is a "Happy Fall", a Felix Culpa.

I want the world to feel that longing to step back into that dream existence, where all is boundless beauty, in contrast to our world, where all is disappointment. I want people to know this feeling, to have it resonate in their hearts. I want people to know that paradoxical feeling of exhilaration and nothingness, of dreams realized and hopes shattered. This is the goal of Traumwelt.
