Love split in half,
I don’t do math.
Multiply by seven,
Love is made in heaven.

Just as the heavens shelter the cosmos, this work encapsulates an intricate dance. Like a living portrait of a boy and a girl, it emanates a dual presence, fusing together a dynamic duality that is as intricate as it is profound. It embodies a deeply philosophical exploration of artistic purpose, inviting readers to venture through the profound realms of the conscious and subconscious.

A symbol lives and eventually sparks an idea, and idea, like every idea, comes in the form of a sentence, in which each word, each letter, is a celestial body in the galaxy of thought it forms, revealing the undercurrents of psyche. The boy – the ‘Animus’ – in the narrative, likely reflects the artist’s longing for their work to be observed, to have a purpose beyond the superficial. It represents the masculine aspects of the artist’s psyche – the drive for validation, the ambition for purposeful creation. It is a spark.

Contrarily, the girl – the ‘Anima’ – embodies the nurturing and intuitive aspects of the psyche. It presents the artist’s capacity to understand and predict the deep-seated instinct of observers to seek solace in art during moments of introspection. The ‘Anima’ becomes a receptacle for these complex human emotions and thoughts, making the art a refuge, an oasis of contemplation. It calms it down.

In the cosmic canvas of this article, the Animus and Anima are not in opposition. Rather, they exist in a symbiotic dance, each balancing and completing the other. Their dance is a celestial ballet, producing a gravitational pull that holds the universe of the piece of art together, bringing meaning and depth to the void, creating a space for introspection. One cosmic thought.

This cosmic dance also transcends the boundaries of the artist’s individual psyche, extending into the collective consciousness of humanity. Yes. Observers of all ages, just like stargazers looking at the cosmos, are drawn into this intricate ballet, the dance of Anima and Animus. Their gaze becomes a beam of cosmic energy, spark, light, fire, connecting the observer’s inner world with the celestial dance in the artwork, facilitating a deep, never-ending, introspective journey.
