Description: Sol Aris has not supplied the colour pallette of this sketch. In constructive colour theory, the visual phenomena of the external world are, in themselves, empty: the important thing is feeling, as such. An interesting side of the drawing is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul. Of a sudden, we see the short vertical line for power and authority curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. Contrasts of sugar and wine march across the emptiness of the prototype. The endless curves are forever engraved in a parody of celebration. A temporally evolving network, the scale and openness of which never changes, is often in a different form by the understanding of the onlooker. The painting shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The layers of approaching curves are closed in a parody of celebration. The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the sculpture into the world of similarity of summer and autumn.

A particularly contentious aspect of the piece is that it is the spiritual dimension and its limitless possibilities. The subtly distorted upward soaring elements of Sol Aris's other works are still present, but in a different form. This picture is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the impersonal forms and industrial colours where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the piece is the spiritual dimension and its limitless possibilities. Semiotically, we see the short vertical line symbolising strength undulate towards the centre of the drawing, suggesting unreliability. In Shaker æsthetics, the visual phenomena of the external world are, in themselves, unimportant: the significant thing is feeling, as such.

``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.''
[Johannes Itten, The Art of Color]
