A minuscule man stands below, naively or ignorantly close to the omnipotent volcano. A stone slab intercepts a round marbleized stone. The smooth rock is dissected by a wedge, opening to the interior of the stone. Three green lines diagonally cut into the rock representing the 3 lines of a trigram from the I Ching. Night and day are separated by a sharp line.
Clouds cross over both ways.
The rock is pierced from both sides by 2 rays of color, one deep red, the other gradating white into violet separated by fine white lines. Strings Like the golden strings of a musical instrument, three lines lead up into a stone, then through it and out again. It is a playful yet contemplative piece, showing two separate realities united into one by the delicate balance of golden strings. Rays of light pierce through the stone and, like a prism, are guided in another direction. The perfect shape, balanced equally on all sides, is interrupted by piercing rays of color that turn into fine golden threads.
