Dawn of Consciousness

The theme of this is the birth of creation (or human creation at least). The hieroglyphics to the left say the title whilst the codes across the top are a section of the human genome and some of the zodiac signs. The human embryo to the top right is drawn in the same texture as some of the rocks to the bottom right symbolising the unity of organic matter. The clear light in its palms shows both the clear light we experience at death and at birth. The eye and the colour spectrum within the temple suggest the idea of how perception is shown by the human mind. The bindi on the hidden Jesus to the left (with the flower as its eye) shows the universality of religion and how this is sometimes hidden behind the fabrics of social life and the bindi can also be seen as mars in its proximity to earth (within the pupil).
