Sphinx


Intentionality and obstacle collide, buckling expectation. Thus, the pilgrim must confront the central riddle of his pilgrimage: Where lies the destination? In the world or in the Self?

A labyrinthine figure—suggesting a hierarchy of possibility—faces us as we comprehend the path. At its heart, where directions converge, square within square within square represents Enigma. Continuing, each node—each station—is a milestone. Supplication seeks a clue. Which way? Is progress illusion? An Eye watches, unblinking.

The Path creates the pilgrim as the pilgrim creates his Path.
