Aiwaz-Diatom-Physics

Acrylic on canvas. Consecrated and started painting this piece in June 2015. Completed, photographed and live, Crowleymas, 12th of October 2018. A pictorial exploration of language as colour, shape, form, pattern-Shipibo-tribal, music, geometry, element, archetype, metaphysics, physics, Higgs Boson (as prophesied in Liber AL vel Legis), aethyr, spirit, molecule, DMT, DNA, biology, chemistry, photosynthesis, diatom, primary producers, bio-sphere, Nu-sphere. An amalgamation of a series of Ayahuasca trips in January 2010.

A prayer for environmental awareness and sustainability. Three-headed past, present, future space, Initiator of Humankind, Aiwaz as green man resonating Melek Taus, Baphomet, a new physics. Balancing and unification of masculine and feminine polarities has paralleled rise of the Times Up and Me Too movements.

Crocodile – unformed man. Shelf, place walled in – on shelf skeleton. White flag. Skeleton’s hand holds white flag. Large wall around place like butterfly net.

28^th of August and just weeks before publication of this painting: six years after its discovery, the Higgs boson has at last been observed decaying to fundamental particles known as bottom quarks. The finding, presented today at CERN by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is consistent with the hypothesis that the all-pervading quantum field behind the Higgs boson also gives mass to the bottom quark. Both teams have submitted their results for publication today.

The Standard Model of particle physics predicts that about 60% of the time a Higgs boson will decay to a pair of bottom quarks, the second-heaviest of the six flavours of quarks. Testing this prediction is crucial because the result would either lend support to the Standard Model – which is built upon the idea that the Higgs field endows quarks and other fundamental particles with mass – or rock its foundations and point to new physics.
