Bodies and Souls

The term "Singularity" can also refer to the point where something becomes self-aware.

Bodies and Souls emanate from the Singularity out into space. Originally, I used just one male and female body from the center of the drawing. Here, I'm using skeletons with body outlines to represent the bodies and souls. I thought about more than one body and soul in the new rendition. Some beliefs hold that the body is just a vessel for holding the soul during our worldly life. While there are various beliefs on the number of components that make up a person, having a soul in the body is generally an requirement for "Living" verses various forms of Death.

Here I represent the Body with the skeleton form and the soul with the outline of the body. Aside from my anatomy books, I found a neat pap for my phone called "Skelly." My little posing models don't really work for skeletons. Pricing posing skeletons versus posing paps that are now available, the pap won. The two skeletons in the fetal position are from the Skelly App.

As noted, the Original Sketch had just two bodies. This time, the bodies will becoming from the center, feet towards the Singularity. As they progress out into space, the figures begin to go into the fetal position.

I've been pondering putting figures into the skeleton silhouettes. Have little figures that make up the bones. May also give me a chance to incorporate more hidden figures into the background.
