Samsara

2011

The name derives from the Sanskrit word, "Saṃsāra," which refers to the flow of life through experiences and incarnations. The woman with one eye is what I would call a "Cyclopean Receptionist". She was genetically engineered to not have a soul. Saṃsāra is often conceived of as a cycle or wheel of experience, and in this depiction the wheel revolves around the soulless eye of this Cyclopean Receptionist as though it were the eye of a storm. It is a storm of life in which their is a calm center of non-being and non-existencem a void, from which all emerges. It is the eye of a goddess through which you are received into death, and yet she has such a disarmingly windome personality that if you met her in the waiting room of a doctor's office, an opthalmologist's even, you would perhaps notice nothing out of the ordinary about her.
