Ecclesiastes 1965

Editor: This intriguing piece, "Ecclesiastes" by Stefan Martin, presents us with a figure rendered in stark lines. The face is repeated, almost like a triple exposure. What can you tell us about its symbolism? Curator: The repeating face immediately brings Janus to mind, the Roman god of beginnings and transitions. Observe how each face gazes in a different direction, suggesting the weight of past, present, and future bearing down upon the figure, evoking anxieties about time and decision-making. Does that resonate with your experience of the piece? Editor: Absolutely. It feels like being pulled in different directions, unable to focus on one path. Thank you. Curator: You're welcome. The repetition encourages reflection on cultural memory and how we navigate the present.
