For the artistic communicative capacity of the representation it reveals its uniqueness in depicting an Egyptian correspondent of the well-known eye of Horus and at the same time demonstrates the undeniable existence of an evolved and Arcane civilization, where the five senses are faculties of the soul, whose number it must not be considered absolute or definite. The boundary between the senses in the structure of the figuration becomes relative in enveloping itself and in wanting to show how each sense is connected with one of the seven planes of manifestation; hearing on the physical plane, touch on the astral, sight on the mental, taste on the intuitive, smell on the spiritual, but it pervades all the other senses, which therefore are on all planes. The senses are ways of spiritual approach to the various aspects of the divine manifestation in the worlds of human evolution, otherwise sealed and unknown to the experience of the soul, thus allowing to distinguish the real from the unreal. Horus was the falcon god, the one who excelled over all others. In the earliest period Horus was also a god of hunting, beauty, art, prophecy and music and in more recent times, after complete assimilation with the god Ra, he had become the god of the sky. The right eye represented the sun while the left one represented the moon. The work evokes the theme of the awakening of the ghost towns of today, where time has stopped and the inhabitants motionless in the fixed temporal have had to leave their occupations suddenly. In our ghosts towns only the eye of the sky can open cosmological visions, giving mortals a glimmer of Knowledge to rediscover through “all the senses” that part to which the confused and lost human mind has always lied.
