Backgrounds to page 2,3,4: concentric solid circles from the left meet concentric empty circles from the right, suggesting the interpenetration of deepening individuation (left) and expanding circles of inclusion (right)

Concentric circles emanating from the painting's eye: again suggesting that from the center of our self we draw ever expanding circles of inclusion

Color choices: from the first to the fifth page, the background colors follow the painting's color choices from the frame's edge in towards the iris. This is the journey to the heart of self, or the locus of perception.
