"The
Earth" 60 x 46in. The
eternity of the universe is symbolized by the endless ocean. Steps
lead down out of the ocean onto the plain on which sits the figure of
a young man holding a chain. He is thinking about human joy and
suffering, human passion and love. The chain that he holds
symbolizes the imprisoned human mind to the material world, and his
dependency on desire. The chains softly transform into the clouds
leading out into the planet inhabited by humanity. Who is this
figure? . . . “I am part of the power which forever wills evil and
forever works good.” |
