The Island of Duality
In our own world of the ego we are all islands unto ourselves. Here the inside includes the outside from star nurseries to the milky way. War and trade are linked as are night and day and the two hemispheres of the brain/body. Pithagoras’ triangle on the artist’s forehead reminds us that it was Pithagoras who first separated the soul from the body, the first duality.
