“Everything is in its opposite.”
"Not Vishnu"
The Hindu god Vishnu is, among other things, a symbol of inner peace and egoless-ness, both of which are valuable pursuits. Clearly a person with blue skin and four arms is a fictional character, and I am not a believer in the supernatural, but I value humanity’s desire to rise above the limitations of our primitive instincts. Personally I prefer the aesthetic of femaleness, so I changed the gender because it’s not important. What matters is the principles the character represents, not the form they take.
"Still-life with recycling"
Obsidian, the volcanic glass, and plastic garbage bags, are equally beautiful if you forget how they are formed and what they are used for. It is only a matter of perception.
