At each end of the palpebral commissures where corners converge, one of the two Guardians of the Threshold, the personification of the masculine and feminine polarities cast in clear acrylic glass (PMMA) silhouettes, facing each other, watching the entrance in sitting position, respectively with gold and silver wire inlay, each illuminated by a white spotlight: the feminine, from above; the masculine, from below, in antinomic fashion.
The Guardians of the Threshold, also denoted as the pillars of the Temple, or the right and left sides of the Tree of Life — as in the Gunungan beginning and closing every Wayang performance — or the Sephirot of compassion and justice, or the Black and White Lodges, and so forth, stand for all polarities that, once integrated, allow crossing the threshold to access a new dimension of consciousness. According to traditional knowledge, the Guardians of the Threshold must be confronted at an early initiatory stage of the evolution of consciousness. Inside the Eye space, they bear a material emergence being cast in transparent acrylic glass; outside the Cave entrance, they are instead holograms characters, immaterial beings devoid of tangible consistency.
