Description:

Based on the second song from the Tool album 10,000 Days, Jambi was completed in early 2009 and is a loose interpretation on the band’s original meaning of the song.

In my piece, I explored the idea of the Third Eye and wanted to twist it a little to give it a darker edge. The Tool song is about a sultan who lives an opulent life style, I wanted to try an depict what would happen to a person of that status if they attained a false sense of enlightenment.

If one was to become enlightened, or so it is believed, one’s third eye would open in the center of the forehead. So, if one was to become ill-enlightened (its not a real word but it works) then where would the third eye open? ahem

Also added to the fool’s punishment, his real eyes burn out and the eye-tongue causes irreversible madness.
