The Trinity of the Chinese Character Circle of Life in Time and Space

This print image started as a fabricated steel sculpture of the Chinese Character Circle of Life. The top and bottom are partial images, the middle one is a complete image. This is symbolic for time. The middle image represents the present. The top and bottom images point to the future and past. The Circle of Life, is nature’s way of taking and giving back life to the earth. It means the universe is sacred and divine and there is an ongoing quality that is express with new life and death. The actual sculpture stands 6 feet tall. I like this size because it is approximately the size that a human being can be. The Trinity refers to the number 3. Three is a significant number in many cultures and religions in the world. Many objects and ideas come in groups of three. In this artwork there are three of the same image, moving in and out of the space the image occupies, and this points to the idea of time, present, past and future, that we experience in our daily lives. The Chinese Character Circle of Life sculpture stands in the water in a beautiful outdoor landscape teaming with life.
