ENDLESS JOY EDITIONS — ONLY 100 MADE
In a striking symbolic image, star-crossed lovers embrace on the shores of a cosmic ocean. The irony of this macabre romance is our lovers are holding their own severed heads.

In Indian spiritual practises, the head is the seat of the ego and beheading can be seen to represent the spiritual process of losing the ego. Once liberated from ego, the aspirant experiences a spiritual rebirth.
Also at play, in the underlying symbolism of the image is the bond between the masculine and the feminine and their ultimate fusion as they merge to become one.
Androgyny among humans – physical, psychological, and cultural – are attested to from earliest history and across world cultures; one of the earliest forms of cosmic androgyny can be found in the ancient Greek myth of Hermaphroditus and Salmacis, two divinities who fused into a single immortal being.
In alchemy the moon represents the feminine forces and the feminine principle of the cosmos, The sun represents the masculine. The archetypal mother rules the below, while the archetypal father, the sun, rules the above. Two different worlds coming from two opposite poles mingled during this time.
In our own soul or psyche, these two forces are mostly in a state of flux. The two poles are what Jung called, the anima and the animus (the masculine and feminine forces of the soul).
The aim of the alchemists was the transmutation of the soul; the ‘alchemical androgynous’ and the unification of a pair of opposites. The secret of the union is in an inner alchemical work that seeks to balance all aspects of the fundamental contrast of our being.
