The Tower
Available Through the Salem Art Association Through Oct. 27th, 2024
The biblical Tower of Babel stands as a powerful symbol of unchecked ambition, its prideful reach for the heavens mirroring the dangers of overstepping our limits. This archetype, deeply resonant with Jung's concept of the shadow, reminds us that unbridled ambition and a disregard for tradition can lead to division and downfall. It is a potent image echoed throughout history in the rise of totalitarian ideologies that exploit the rejection of established values. As humanity continues to push the boundaries of progress, may the Tower of Babel serve as a timeless reminder to always temper ambition with ethics, wisdom, and unwavering respect for the common good.
