Opus Magnum translated from Latin - "great work", or "great creation". It is more than just a project or the result of an effort. This is the peak to which he went for a long time, making mistakes, burning out the excess and leaving only the essence. For alchemists, — is the creation of a philosopher's stone. Artists have a picture, novel or symphony that surpasses all others. Everyone has their own.
I mentioned this term when I passed again Mad Max on PS4. There, the hero builds the car of his dreams — from scratch, from scrap metal, in post-apocalypse conditions. He doesn't just collect it - he literally risks his life to build his Opus. "Magnum Opus" is the name of this car in the game. It's not just transport. This is his way, faith, anger and redemption, gathered together in the form of a steel animal on wheels.
This image clings. Because each of us, at least once in our life, dreams of creating something that can be looked at and said: here it is, my Opus Magnum.
