Back to: Part 4: The Duality of Sight and Self:

Baba Metu delves into ancient Kemetic texts, such as the pyramid texts and the Book of the Dead, to explore the concept of duality represented by the sun and the moon as the right and left eyes, respectively. This cosmic symbolism is then connected to the human brain, suggesting that the right eye, linked to solar energy and the left brain, manifests as externalizing, while the left eye, associated with lunar energy and the right brain, is receptive. Baba Metu illustrates this internal duality by digitally manipulating photographs of faces, suggesting that each individual embodies seemingly distinct yet unified aspects within themselves.
