Estructura Universal con tres arcos, 1945

 The person is divided into two parts: basic instincts - animal(the left small arc) and spirit - soul(the right small arc). The human basic instincts part is the same as in any other animals - they want to eat, to breed and to be safe. The spirit part is what makes us different from the animal world. This is logic and abstract thinking.It let us observe and conclude.A mix of these two building blocks gives us the universe of personalities, characters, feelings and behaviors. This is the third big arc. That arc lets people do almost anything they can think of.

Composicion Constructiva

Everything has its limits and expiration dates. Voyages, plants, history, people. The Time has limits. Even things that you think are constant are to end some time (the anchor). So the key (the key in the center :) is to be philosophical (the bottle above) and to choose wisely (the stack above the bottle) what are you going to keep and cherish (the jar in the upper right corner).
