What is the image in M.C. Escher's Bond of Union?

Answer 1

The concept is Human Rights. Two spirals merge and portray the head of a woman and of a male, It is an endlessband, a double unity. I'm actually doing a research paper on it now for a college presentation. It, in my opinion, invokes humanity rights, that all peoples are created equal. Whether white, black, hispanic, asian, we are all created equally. This is evident in The Bible as well. We are created in God's image, so therefore, we are all created equal. I mean comeon, LOL we all have the same organs XD

As the man and woman share organs and skin,it just simply states that we are all created equal;men to women, blacks to whites, even in religion.

We should all be able to enjoy the basic human rights because we are human, not because of our ethnic background or social class. And you could look up some of the amendments if you'd like. Our protected freedoms consist of;

physical security

bodily integrity

self control

peace

prosperity

belonging

property

identity

Thats all i can think of >.< that about sums t up though. WOAH! i typed up my whole essay points haha.

hope that helped.

Answer 2

Dutch artist M.C. Escher is known for his sketches and drawings of unique, if not impossible, situations. In "Bond of Union" he draws a man and woman whose faces are unraveling together into one single unit. Spheres float all around, inside and outside of the faces, attracted to each other and the faces. The two people are becoming one, attached via their own bond of union. Own this black and white Escher print and form your own bond with his work
