Description of the artwork «Snake Constellation»

“Nothing clarifies the immutable unity of the basic essence of our“ I ”and the essence of the external world, like a dream. For in a dream, objects are different from ourselves, they are distinguished by perfect objectivity and their mysterious peculiarity, which is alien to our own properties, cause in us surprise, confusion, anxiety, etc. Nevertheless, all this is ourselves. This is precisely also the will, which bears within itself the whole external world, quickens it and is enclosed within us, where we immediately recognize its presence. All these miracles, however, we owe to the intellect, this fantastic and wonderful workshop, this incomparable wizard who decomposes his own being into the knower and the knowable. ”
Arthur Schopenhauer
