The Tower Nexus- by André Alexander 10/25/2023
Today I would like to present a piece of art I unveiled at a private event last October. In the vivid tapestry of The Tower Nexus, the Seattle skyline is reimagined as a beacon of collective consciousness, a vessel of cumulative wisdom nestled in the Pacific Northwest's embrace. The artwork, formerly adorned with text, has shed its explicit identifiers, choosing instead to speak through the symbolism interwoven within its vibrant hues.
At the forefront of this visual odyssey stands the Space Needle, rechristened as The Tower Nexus, a term that evokes the convergence of myriad paths of knowledge and experience. This iconic structure, set against a backdrop of cosmic wonder, is not merely an architectural marvel; it is a capsule of exchange, a nexus where the intangible essence of human endeavor coalesces into a tangible monument. It signifies not an event but the impact of such gatherings—where minds meet, ideas flow, and the collective intellect ascends. A hushed gathering of conspirators has visited this space, and a key remains linking it to other towers imbued with purpose and affluence.
The artwork refrains from explicit mention of the particular catalysts for such convergence, focusing instead on the effect: a palpable resonance that permeates through the collective psyche, a silent transformation that ensues from the synergy of shared insights. The viewers are not mere spectators; they are invited to partake in the legacy of this silent confluence, to sense the undercurrents of change that such unspoken assemblies ignite.
The Tower Nexus stands illuminated, a sentinel amidst the fusion of natural and non-natural elements, its presence a testament to the Black Flame—a metaphor for the inner divine spark that urges humanity towards self-realization and greater becoming. The vibrant colors that bleed into the night sky mirror this flame's radiance, casting a glow that symbolizes the passion for discovery and the ceaseless quest toward Xeper.
The Pentagram of Set seated at the tower's base is not only a call to the Elect but also bears a unique synchronicity with the artwork's muse—the Space Needle itself was brought into being by the Pentagram Corporation. This alignment is not merely a coincidence but a serendipitous affirmation of the underlying currents that bind the physical to the metaphysical, the creation to its creators.
The heavens as depicted in the piece are not simply a space of distant celestial bodies; they are the canvas that unites the city's edifice with the natural world. Stars twinkle with promises of untapped potential, while nebulous forms whisper of mystery. This interplay of the urban and the natural in the celestial speaks to the integral relationship between humanity and the greater cosmos, designed to highlight the harmony that can be achieved when we acknowledge our place within the vast expanse of existence.
The Tower Nexus with its omission of direct references to the specific catalysts of intellectual and spiritual synergy, transcends the need for explicit narration. It is an open invitation to all who gaze upon it to reflect on the unseen forces that shape our lives, the silent dialogues that propel us forward, and the shared flame that burns within each seeker of truth. It is a visual symphony where every stroke resonates with the chords of collective evolution and the silent songs of the Black Flame.
