Front and center, this painting features an inverted negative image of a soccer forward dribbling a ball from the viewers left to right. Right behind him is a defender trying to steal such ball.
I used this sporting metaphor for role playing in the game of life.
As with most contests, the measured goal is to win by having a higher point total. In the game of life, what are we trying to win? What are we trying to get to? I was once a starting forward and now I am on the bench. Or the opposite. How did that happen? How does that affect my identity? Who am I and what position do I play in this life?
The alternating red and green lines in the painting form a convex pattern toward the viewer, slightly indicating spokes in a wheel in which the players remain in the center. As the great wheel of life turns, the players may change, but do the questions? Or the answers? A meditation.
