In the Book or one for the books!
The structure as an open-air dice provides the setting for the reflection of the reader to proclaim what is happening or has happened.
What has man wrought?
Broken chance. Wasted opportunity. Having met survivors whose lives were so totally deformed that they were essentially walking ghosts with destroyed dreams, these figures offer little hope.
The ladder as a reminder of Jacob's ladder which connected earth to the heavens is held in place by a winged figure.
Angels as messengers bearing what message.
The circular opening of the dice provide little respite from the detritus of war.
Another moment to reflect and realize how prescient Bak’s art is.
