The sculpture shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.

Unexpectedly, we see the diagonal axis for the inner ego undulate towards the centre of the sketch, suggesting inconstancy. The dominant angularity and horizontality in this image, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind brightness and shade... |
