Ink and Colored Pencil on Cardboard 36"x48" September 2008-March 2010
This piece represents a view of reality represented by frequencies. We construct our realities within our minds based on our limited perceptions of frequency, mainly sound and light. However, there exists above these perceptions a higher reality.
The faces on both sides of the figure represent the surface reality made of frequencies of light and sound, since the word face shares a root with other words like false, facade, surface, superficial, fake.
The figure in the center absorbs these frequencies and creates a reality within himself, represented by the solar system/chakra model within. All humans create this reality within themselves, and they are all connected to each other.
It's like the concept of the multiverse, an infinite number of adjacent universes that are slightly different from each other.
Fantastic! So intricate. I had an idea that I was toying around with for a drawing that had the chakras represented as planets too, but orbiting the figure.
