Description: The Stage is about the basic relationship between the artist and his audience. On the back of the artist is the sun and the moon. The hair and the arm are sticking in a water substance which represents the conscious. There is a sleeping figure standing on the cliff overlooking a cave in which you see a portion of the Aztec Calendar. There are stars and various Indian symbols there. These are elements of the subconscious which comes from the primal aspect of our being.

On the top you see a silent witness which is the Guardian Angel. Also, you see the mystical eye of God in a sculptural tool which is carving the middle of the image as if constructing it.

The Artist presents himself to the audience as a performance artist trying to balance the relationship between the conscious and the subconscious. He is connected to a tree which stands for the Tree of Life. It is that which interconnects into everything. It is also a metaphore for the spinal cord which goes through our entire body. The Artist is saying that he connects himself cerebrally into the Tree of Life.
