Cephalomorphism: a hydra-headed form.
The statuette represents the face of a child as well as that of an elderly, which supports a relation - the opposition of the complementarity - we call OXYMORON: a figure which joins two associated words with opposed meanings or incompatibles to express precious values. Potentia and Presentia. The presentification is the operation of which an invisible spiritual entity in a visible body begets a being conceived on the model of the spirited body. Similarities with the egyptian canon and the golden section. The theory of proportions depends on systems of established mathematical relations not directed towards the variable, but towards the constant, which tends as much as to symbolize the present in its vitality. The role of the Image in the formation of Concepts. The three faces which incarnate the three phases of the collective being(chidhood, maturity, and old age) are supposed to symbolize the three forms of the time (the past, the present and the future) in general and which perpetuate three psychological faculties (memory, intelligence, foresight). |
