Man in the Maze


 
Iron gate at San Xavier del Bac Mission...
The figure represents man at birth.  He follows the open spaces of the maze during his life, aquiring knowledge, strength, and understanding.  As he approaches the center, he retreats to a corner just below the center to repent, and reflect on wisdom gained during his lifetime.  Now, purified and in harmony with the world, he accepts death and eternal life as he enters the center of the circle.
