Monochrome painting on wood, based on the primitive method and simplified of figuration.
The idea is the interpretation of the Egyptian hieroglyph Ka concept.
Ka represents symbolically the soul, the spirit and individual conscience assigned by the gods to man.
It was believed he was still alive after human death if you had a repository to inhabit. Hence the mummification process, common in Egyptian cultures, such as preservation of the native place.
Here, the representation, the hieroglyph, differing interpretative, includes a body, a head, while representation of consciousness, and an appointment as a significant reference in the chest, of your heart, as a bi-referential link which establishes the definition of the spirit and the presence of the soul.
The wooden support aged and with incisive marks represents the notion of time and consequences of the existence, in an ontological chapter.
