This artwork, aptly named 'Squiggles' by Sol LeWitt, presents us with a field of vibrant, serpentine forms painted in primary hues. These lines, seemingly simple, trigger a deeper resonance. Consider the serpent, a motif as old as time itself. From the Ouroboros, consuming its own tail in an eternal cycle, to the biblical serpent in the Garden of Eden, this symbol embodies themes of creation, destruction, and transformation. LeWitt’s squiggles, while appearing abstract, evoke this primal imagery, engaging our subconscious understanding of cyclical existence and the inherent duality of life. Even the ancient Greeks saw snakes as representing healing and medicine. These twisting forms speak to us, resonating with our innermost fears and hopes. It is a testament to the enduring power of symbols and how they resurface, evolve, and take on new meanings throughout history.
