| Description: |
Semiotically,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
the self
undulate towards the centre of the image,
suggesting
unreliability.
The
ornamented
background
enriches
a primary natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our psychology.
The strangely
curved
upward
reaching
components
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
A notable feature of this particular sketch is that it is the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang. ``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.''
