32 voorstellingen van cellen before 1893

Here, W. Glówczewski presents us with '32 voorstellingen van cellen,' a lithograph teeming with cellular life. Note the dominance of the orb. These spherical forms, reminiscent of ancient sun symbols, pulse with a primal energy. In cultures across the globe, the circle represents completeness, the self, and the eternal cycle of life. Consider the sun disk in ancient Egyptian art, symbolizing Ra, the all-seeing eye of the divine. Now, see how these cellular orbs cluster and divide. This echoes the continuous cycle of creation, growth, and decay. These forms evoke a sense of primordial, subconscious forces at play—a potent reminder of our connection to the Earth. Just as the serpent biting its tail symbolizes the cyclical nature of existence, the cells remind us of the endless transformations that are at the very heart of life.
