Armillary Sphere
1998, oil on canvas, 52 × 72 in

“The armillary sphere is a tool for understanding the universe. Meditation is a tool for understanding the universe too, for meditation begins with recognizing ones own insignificance in relation to the universe. Man is a speck of dust next to the size and duration of the universe. Only when man understands that difference can his spirit find balance with nature.”
