Scope and Contents

Commissioned for "The Beauty In Breathing" exhibition. Miglietta writes the Sackners that he considers breathing as a metaphor for origins of the universe (implosion and explosion). He depicts a white lifeline for the sky, earth or man and breathing as an infinite succession of diamond shapes. The blue color indicates sky, green earth, and red men, all bound to the harmonious lifeline in which is written "live together." A surrounding, infinite grille symbolizes ideas beyond his comprehension. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
