IThere is a lake that appears like slime or coal tar surrounded by
a wall of earth in the center of the table. It represents ≪the origin
of life≫ in the biological sense. From the wall of earth that surrounds
the lake are outstretched 16 pairs of green arms. The arms immerse
their fingers into the liquid pages and try to scoop up a text-covered
lizard, but it always runs away into the pages of the book. The book
may symbolize knowledge or consciousness, and the lizard may symbolize
the untamed instinct.
