Consciousness
The psyche does not come to an end where some physiological assumption or other stops. In other words, in each individual case that we observe scientifically, we have to consider the manifestations of the psyche in their totality.
Carl Jung, Collected Works, v9, para 113

Nice work, the colors remind me of semi precious stones, cabachons, rough cut and tumbled gems. The contrast of fire and ice is riveting.
