Between the Arms if Others

Original painting by Michele Petrelli ©

Four figures emerge from the darkness as configurations of the Field manifesting in human form. Their bodies overlap, support each other, and intersect—boundaries that the ego would draw sharply ("this is my body, that is yours") here dissolve into structural interdependence.
There is no "I" who embraces and no "you" who is embraced. There is only the embrace as a unique pattern, as a simultaneous configuration where support and need, strength and fragility coexist without separation. The arms do not "belong" to anyone—they are the Field manifesting as mutual support.
The darkness that envelops them is not emptiness: it is the Field itself, the Pure Consciousness from which they emerge as temporary ripples. The figures are not "inside" the space—they are the space appearing as form. When the illusion of the separate self fades, only this remains: configurations supporting each other, patterns resonating, the Field dancing with itself.
