It reminds me ….myself taking photos with my mobile phone…..!!
The hand with the glass-globe. The head-ego is in the middle of the picture that gives the perspective of the whole room.
I think that it teaches us the dimensions of space.

if you notice, he is holding the sphere with his right hand but we see the left hand, carrying the ball..That i think can teach us that everyone sees the world in a different way from the other…
There are so many realities…As many as there are people on this planet..Everyone sees the world with his own eyes and truth…
Love and Graditude

A cool image! A bit psychological picture, the man is looking like a psychologist and the psychological question is; who is holding the ball…Do you like the game?
I think several matters are brought up with this image:
1. Your life is in your hands
2. It takes courage to see yourself in a mirror
3. There are times when we see only ourselves in the picture…
and this is sad…so, if you have the courage to see yourself in the mirror, you certainly have the courage to take your life in your hands and do something about your loneliness and open your home’s door to the world..
Amazing drawing! The details in the sphere showing Escher and the room he was in is drawn with such accuracy. Such imagination to think of drawing a picture like that. Try to wrap your brain around that idea!
It is almost as if it is a mirror-image, however, can we be absolutely positive that it is the artist that holds the sphere? I’m not convinced. Whoever holds the sphere is using the left hand while the person seated in the sphere has his left hand on his left knee…it is his right hand that rises up to meet with the “other’s” hand.
I remember reading somewhere about mirrored glass and two-way glass. With a mirror reflection, if you point your finger and place the tip of your fingernail directly on the glass, a small space appears between the fingernail tip and the mirrored image of it. With two-way glass, there is no space between images.
So, I wonder about this “captured” image depicted inside the sphere as the hands, albeit opposite hands, are touching with no space in-between.
I almost get a little dizzy trying to figure out all the angles within this rounded medium, LOL.
It is quite different when u look at yourself in a mirror and when u look at yourself in a glass-globe…don t u think? the perspective is quite different…it makes you look at things and youself from another point of you…
thank you, georgiana
Yes dear Annie, that’s true for the hand. I haven’t seen it. Thank you.
I can see the place is dark, and tidy. As if the personage did not so much in that place. tables and chairs are also neat.
The circle images a movement of resumption. And the only spectator of the scene is himself.
Bars on the window shows us that place is like a jail, from which there will be no escape, as no doors could be seen.
Maybe culture, books and paintings could confine the body to old age and solitude.
Thanks goodness, he has someone to bring him some cigars.

A fish-eye angle. What a work within a ball…
Thank you for sharing that inner place.
Love.
I had this image in my livingroom in Belgium…nice to see his right hand again…

I’m not very familiar with this image. I think that it depicts what we see of ourselves. It’s very interesting, makes you think of who you really are.

It shows that everything is really in a circle /dimension - what we really see is just an illusion anyway ..but nice strong hand ..Blessings Tania

Just a couple of thoughts on this picture…
