Not only by counting the number of growth rings can determine the age of a tree, but interpreting the spacing of growth rings can tell us much about it's life.
How can we understand the mind if not looking backwards and examining our past. Trough time, our mind has become a mind within a mind - an endless journey of nested personalities.

I've always been fascinated by the russian Matryoska dolls. The concept of nesting dolls, growth rings and onions is with me when I think of age and personality.

I absolutely love this, it also makes me think of past lives and reincarnation. What if it was flipped and instead of our soul being carried on but all our different bodies were...
Truly great piece!

egilpaulsen It was sort of intended that way - The soul being carried away.
Even if this image shows the iterations of the soul, it is some what connected to the physical. Only by stepping back into the shadow of our own ghost can we understand our personality as a continuous reversed process?
Those dolls are trippy, and while I'll admit it took me more than a minute to understand what it was, it is a really interesting piece. Really love the heads, and especially the simplicity of the colours used.
