Embrace
The circle is no longer the only predominant element but is inserted within a square or rectangular shape. I always take back from the Vitruvian Man the geometry of the circle within the square. The circle represents spirituality and the sky, the square the Earth and man. The circle in the square symbolizes man’s efforts to transfolate his earthly identity into the more divine one. A discourtive element of these two works are the net vertical openings in the figures, creating an empty space to symbolize the openness of one’s interiority to the outside world.
