What we perceive through our eyes and the rest of our senses is not the only truth that exists. Have you ever thought that it may be the least truth that there is? My interpretation of the head lies in my belief that we are enormously complex as personalities and we are far more within than what the others see or think of us. Even more, we are a lot more than we think we are. The double-faced heads are not representational portraits of particular people. They are psychological maps of our personality. Love, harmony, anger, fear, they are all traits of every one of us and coexist within us. The two faces on one head act not only as a metaphor of this coexistence of emotions, but also as a bridge of the dualistic perceptions of our world. They are not opposites trapped in the same body, just different expressions and aspects of the same things, like day and night are two aspects of the sky with no definite boundaries between them.
