I’m happy to find this discussion. For a bit over a year now I’ve sometimes had this phenomenon where a transparent white “hole” appears in the center of my visual field that seems to be sucking light into it. Somehow it doesn’t disrupt the visual field overall, and I can see just fine. It likes to appear on my long road trips while I’m on the highway, so I’m thankful it’s amusing and not dangerous.
I’ve made several posts in the art channel over the last year or so about adventures with my light ring sculpture. I’ve often wondered where that exprsesion came from. While I obviously know the history behind it, it’s mysterious even to me why I chose that specific representation. One of my longest working theories is that it’s actually an unconscious expression of the third eye “star” or sushumna tunnel much like Casey is suggesting the AYP logo could be (but consciously idk). I’ve often noted the resemblence between the AYP symbol and the light ring. Cool stuff!
