-Looking at combining the ideas Symbol of Solomon.
-The symbol of Solomon
-Uses the Star of David and symbolises ‘as above, so below’
-Metropolis reinvents this throughout the film.
-The upside down pentagram used in Metropolis
-May be seen as satanic
-I feel metropolis though, uses the pentagram to symbolise the unjust distribution of wealth between the workers and thinkers.
-Print Ideas
-Print 1
My redesign of the Symbol of Solomon shows a utopia mirrored with a dystopia.
The symbol in the middle representing the greater good or what both strive for. Above the symbolism of rich buildings, bellow tower blocks representing the poor or cheap housing.
-Print 2
A more simple representation as above so below, shown as two half’s again rich above poor below, the space between negative space. What are the two half’s striving for?
-Print 3
3rd depiction of the symbol of Solomon, inside the cog of the working class the cog design seen in a dystopian game, Gears of War.
