Noticibly, there are three orange dots circumferencing the egg, which, albeit maybe just be some abstract definition meant to add to the piece, actually shows an helios motion, bring to mind the phases of a sunset, rising and falling in order, till on the right, where you can barely see it, besides it's eclipse of the "hill" (or mound, which also brings to mind obvious connotations much less dignified for this speech). Also of note is in the very center, one can make out the smallest outline of a crescent moon, part of the lunar cycle, symbolic of fertility and motherhood. But it is not full. This is also important. Meanwhile, in the very center of the piece, one can notice the green shadows, representing greed and avarice, possibly of the sperm's future selves (the "adult for tomorrow", if you will). As we can tell, from the red angry sex-imagery mentioned previously, it can be deduced that such an unhappy and unhealthy child life, but a glimpse of anything positive in ones young life (the glimpses themselves noted by the small pink dots sprinkled throughout the "cycle"), can easily lead to the pursuit of money later in life, to compensate for ruined childhoods. A heavily symbolic piece, doctor, my good man. I congradulate you. |
