Labyrinth Story 2: Spirals and Arthur Dove

The spiral labyrinth is one of the oldest of symbols; it depicts the way to the unknown center of death and rebirth, the risk of the search, the danger of losing the way, the quest, the finding and the ability to return.

Edmond Whitmont, The Symbolic Quest

 
 
After my heart attack fifteen years ago, I had spontaneously drawn this spiral image.
 
Shortly after, I came across Arthur Dove’s The Red Sun, drawn 3-4 years before he died of a heart attack.
 
Note that the spirals are going different directions.
