One of the most narratively complex and visually ambitious works in the collection — a large pastel composition in which a red human figure occupies the upper left while an elaborate abstract world unfolds across the rest of the picture. The figure is clearly human — standing, with a round dark head and a vivid red body — rendered with the same simplified symbolic clarity as the figures in Two Faces in the Cosmos (266). This is a person in a world, not a world without people.
The world the figure inhabits is spectacular. At center, a large sweeping green-yellow form curves through the composition like a wave or a road, its interior containing floating objects: a green circular form with dot patterns suggesting a portal or organism; a striped triangular form suggesting a tent or shelter; bands of blue rain falling from above. At upper right, cosmic objects float — an orange-ringed circle, a dark sphere — in what reads as a sky or outer space. At center right, a small pink axolotl-like creature rests on the dark form below, one of Sidney's characteristic small unexpected animals.
At lower center, a large dark curved form — like the hull of a ship or the rim of a bowl — cradles a yellow wave form. The lower right contains more dark oval forms, each outlined in different colors.
The composition works on multiple scales simultaneously: the figure at one scale, the wave and the shelter forms at a second scale, the cosmic objects at a third. Sidney is painting a world in which the human, the terrestrial, and the cosmic exist at the same moment in the same space. The red figure stands in it without apparent distress, present among wonders.
