Matrix of perception

The composition symbolizes how one perceives the matter of the outside world in relation to its own matter.
Following Ariadne's thread, at first, the subject can't see anything. Then, the image of the labyrinth (the world) appears before him/her. The subject may see that the base (the greatest part of the space) is covered by a grid. (The labyrinth is perceived as a grid.) Furthermore, the walls themselves - which form a graceful circle (a perfect shape) - make up a system, of rules and imprints created by man.
Being outside the system, one may recognize that the end goal of the system (the labyrinth) lies in the center, its axis of symmetry. This goal portrays the union of three pyramids.
The pyramid itself is a virtual symbol of man's ascension. The formation consisting of the three pyramids does not allow the possibility of ascension. It merely shows the direction of motion. The eye inside the pyramid is the symbol of God, observing humans. In addition, one can see three eyes in the shape, emblematic of the Holy Trinity.
The bill, which forms the background of the composition represents the material world. From the outside, one may observe the sole purpose of existence at the beginning of the road, but as soon as he/she enters the labyrinth, that goal disappears. And only if one manages to go through the labyrinth does he/she have a chance to glimpse the pyramid of recognition (or to be exact, its base), only to come to the understanding that in fact, one can not proceed.
