Life Principle

It is proposed that Dali's 'Birth of A New Man' is making a statement about the future. Maybe!

The early Lemurians were purported to be sexless, producing their young by exuding drops of vital fluid, which became an egg shaped ball. The myth of Leda, whose twins were gestated in an egg, refers to this early method of procreation. The Dioscuri, born of the egg by Zeus and Leda wear the two halves of the egg as domed caps.

Procreation, fertility, creative procreation, creative birthing, reproduction, resurrection? Does Dali personify the cosmic egg, the germ of creation, one of the primal life principles, the fundamental creative force of nature to remind us of a truth that has lain slumbering within the depths of the ocean?
