Saar is artistically inspired by investigations of the metaphysical world, and other intangible areas of knowledge. This piece contains a horizontal rectangular surface with an intersecting, long vertical surface. The horizontal piece depicts clouds, possible flames, which represent the infinite layers that one traverses while finding themselves and their identity. The snake-like form in the center piece suggests itself to be more of a rope. Saar utilizes eye motifs again, confronting the viewer. They could symbolise the perception of others of one's self as this journey is being made.
