WAS NOT WAS
December 26, 2005

As you probably already know, I create these things letting my subconscious mind dictate the movement of the pen, and color choices. "WAS NOT WAS" had Julia puzzled. As best as I can gather, it is related to the Set figure watching outside her window. The 'was' scepter conveys power to the bearer, and its head represents Set's head, as well as the forked bottom representing his forked tail. Perhaps this woman is at a crossroads, a choice to be made, either 'was' or not 'was'.
If you find another interpretation more pleasing, then take that one. Either way, I like this drawing for some reason.
