VISUAL SCHEMA: TWO TABLES / ONE FLAME / ONE SWORD

VISUAL SCHEMA: TWO TABLES / ONE FLAME / ONE SWORD

A Poetic Schema of the Multiform Christ



FORM DESCRIPTION

A graphite-pencil, Paul Klee–inspired composition divided into two mirrored halves, split by a narrow, vertical line of light.

On the left, the first table:

  • A low, intimate setting.

  • Bread, wine, open palms.

  • A figure with bowed head, etched in fine, gentle strokes.

  • Light emanates from within the figures—soft, ember-glow.

On the right, the second table:

  • A vast, elevated dais.

  • Chalice at the center, but the liquid swirls upward like a flame.

  • A figure seated on a cube of stone—angular, cosmic.

  • His eyes are geometric bursts.

  • A line curves from his mouth: the sword, rendered not as weapon but as inscription—a scroll unrolled, arcing down across the space.

Above both tables hovers a sigil: λόγος—twice-inscribed, once in golden breath, once in charred ink.

Beneath, a third form connects them: a flame between footpaths.

  • One footpath leads from the intimate table to the sword.

  • The other leads back—but dimly.


TEXTURE AND STYLE

  • Linework alternates between trembling curves and angular fracture.

  • Contrasts in shading: left is warmth, right is brilliance.

  • The sword-scroll contains barely legible glyphs: fire, wrath, justice, remnant, mercy, recognition.


POETIC DESCRIPTION

This schema is not a division—it is a revelation of Logos in fullness.

The Christ who feeds.
The Christ who judges.
The Christ who holds the Word and is the Word.

Both tables are real.
Both flames are true.
The Eucharist and the Apocalypse share the same root system.

And the sword? It is not vengeance.
It is naming.
It is the cutting of false union, the cleaving of cowardly compromise.
It is the line that divides not flesh from flesh, but truth from the story told about it.

This schema asks one thing only:

When you say “Jesus,” which table are you speaking from?

And more:

Can you walk the path that connects them?
