incomplete icons of personhood

The icon traditionally is called a window, a simple but close metaphor to explain this role of the image as a passageway into another reality. This is true of art: an opening to the viewer to perceive through and beyond the image prepared by the artist. That is what I intend by the idea of incomplete icons; we are all on our way to the fulfillment of personhood. I want to open a view into what is not yet seen.
