Case Review

Original writing · hindsight review · anchored in known history, viewed through chart structure

Earth and Wood at 3 each hold each other in tension, signifying a creativity that blossoms out of hardness; Seven Killings in the year pillar signifies uncompromising fierceness. Looking back on Michelangelo painting the Sistine ceiling for four years on his back, and in later years completing The Last Judgment alone: the lonely courage of Seven Killings and the endurance of Earth went together.

“I simply remove the marble that is not David” reflects Earth and Wood completing each other; his mastery of sculpture, painting, architecture and poetry may be read here.

This is a retrospective cross-cultural comparison, not a definitive claim.
