Reichenbach Mirrored Balls and Blue Herons, 2006 Dale Chihuly
Being a Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction -Pope Benedict XVI
Oh for shame, how the mortals put the blame on us gods, for they say evils come from us, but it is they, rather, who by their own recklessness win sorrow beyond what is given... Zeus (1178 BC)
- Whenever a poet or preacher, chief or wizard spouts gibberish, the human race spends centuries deciphering the message. - Umberto Eco - To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin. - Cardinal Bellarmine at the trial of Galilei
The picture symbolizes that in every man there is the presence of God and Devil.
Mirroring the left side of the picture gives us an old man (god...) sitting in a boat, in the background there is a calm sea and a mountain view
The right side mirrored shows the crowned devil (in a coffin?), with erupting volcano and a dark stormy sea
