TRANSITION
STRUCTURE / THE OTHER
The original oil pastel of the TRANSITION card is called “Neck”. I see indeed in it
the back of the neck of a red haired woman. This back is bathed in light. The
sensation of the sun here is delightful. Some see a baby with blond hair on the
bottom. Others see a tree with red leaves. All those elements carry strong
symbolism.
The neck is the part of the body which is the passage of the conceptual to the real,
the physical way from the mind to the active organs. THE OTHER here can literally
mean someone else and thus TRANSITION could express a will, a readiness to go
toward that person. THE OTHER can also stand for the worldand TRANSITION for
the birth of a so far project in real life.
The four cards of THE OTHER speak of how we can engage in relationship, the
Kantian category of relation. TRANSITION stands next to DEPARTURE, PEACE,
andSEDUCTION.
