The tetratych The Equations of a Gender B(l)ender
displays my personal journey to solve
the equations of a bent sexuality/blended
gender. You will find that the work is
divided into four panels, which
symbolizes the difficulty of finding One
Identity - yet the result of the
equation should be One Man, as can be
seen on the panel furthest to the right.
Neither is the equation solved by the 1
= 0, as displayed in the female gender
panel, also showing the French
exclamation of disbelief/something not
possible, Quoi?,
What?! The female gender and the male
gender stand on the far ends of the
scale and are juxtaposed,
quotation marks symbolizing
artificial unity and a circular movement,
chasing each other forever, in vain. In
the middle of the two central panels
there is an egg, symbolizing the only
true fecundity there is, i.e. that
between Man and Woman. But the egg seems
elusive and hard to find in the painting.
- In the female gender panel there is
large black part symbolizing huge locked
subconscious potential whereas in the male gender
panel there are large turquoise heads,
one with the number seven symbolizing
perfection, bursting from the female
direction to the male one, leading to
the One Man.

------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I wouldn't be so sure
that the yadah-yadah-yadah-explanation by some
artist above really explains and
exhausts this work. No way! "The
works of an artist should always be
greater than the artist." (Franz
Kafka) - and indeed they always are, in
one way or another. - But let the artist talk
as he so clearly likes to do...
However, as far as this work of
art is concerned, just see for yourself
and let the work work on you.... ;-) Ari
