Sol & the Tyranny
Limited Edition Print Release
Sol, riding a chariot drawn by horses, is a figure of light. His name, Latin for "sun", stands for the creative spark in each of us. It is also Los reversed: in William Blake's mythology, Los is the figure of imagination and artistic inspiration.
The two fire-breathing dragons are the outward face of chaos and tyranny, yet their actions are born from something deeper: the ego's hunger for dominance and power. It is fitting that they are surrounded by gold, the mark of material wealth. The white dragon, by contrast, is benevolent. It has come to warn them that the charioteer is descending to face them.
On the human level, the line between good and evil is easily blurred. Yet on a deeper, spiritual level, I believe the battle between light and darkness is clear.
