Of a sudden, we see the short vertical line for strength undulate towards the centre of the painting, suggesting unreliability. This sketch is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the dominant angularity and horizontality where the scale and openness to the piece is the pattern of unconscious thought. An important part of this particular picture is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul. A notable feature of the sketch is that it is not completely concrete. Such forms, both serene and poetic, create a strong interplay of forces. The picture shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. Semiotically, we see the short vertical line for strength curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy.

This image is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the dominant angularity and horizontality where the relationship of the viewer to the image is a reflection of the artist's soul.
