Mythic Self-Portrait 8" x 10"Digital2003Collection of the artist

This image involves a meditating figure with a clock illuminating the third eye. Emanating from the figure is a blend of buddhas, black hole equations, and a map of the stars. This image exemplifies a marriage of science and religion, both of which are pedantic attempts at examining the reason for life on earth. The religion/science relationship depicts a unification of the outer world with the inner workings of the mind. This didactic standpoint demonstrates a search for the meaning of life that is based on research and discipline, creating a synthesis between the oft-opposing disciplines of religion and science.
