Psychoanalysis Tapestries
Description: The Gnostic deity Abraxas is used as a symbol throughout the text, idealizing the interdependence of all that is good and evil in the world. The symbol of Abraxas appears as a bird breaking free from an egg or a globe. In Hermann Hesse novel Demian, he argues that Jehovah, the Jewish God, is only one face of God; it rules over all that is wholesome, but there is another half of the world, and an infinite god must encompass both sides of this world.
Description: The face of a giant panda, depicted in black and white using watercolor-like stains that evoke the aesthetics of a Rorschach test. This artwork skillfully engages our interpretative abilities, making it an ideal choice for panda enthusiasts who appreciate the playfulness of perception.
Description: Slavoj Žižek (b. 1949) is a Slovenian-born philosopher and psychoanalyst. He is a professor of philosophy at The European Graduate School / EGS, a senior researcher at the Institute for Sociology and Philosophy at the University of Ljubljana, Global Distinguished Professor of German at New York University, International Director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities, and founder and president of the Society for Theoretical Psychoanalysis, Ljubljana.
