A singular blend of abstraction and realism with added sense of rounded cubism, a beach stretching from a realistic foreground into an abstracted distance, in the foreground the spirals and patterns of shells begin to break into a tessellation pattern that stretches to the abstraction of the sea and clouds overhead; the sea is a moody grey and the cloudy sky spirals into patterns reflecting the shells along the beach
From Wikipedia:
"As above, so below" is a popular modern paraphrase of the second verse of the Emerald Tablet, a short Hermetic text which first appeared in an Arabic source from the late eighth or early ninth century. The paraphrase is based on one of several existing Latin translations of the Emerald Tablet, in which the second verse appears as follows:
Quod est superius est sicut quod inferius, et quod inferius est sicut quod est superius.
That which is above is like to that which is below, and that which is below is like to that which is above.
The paraphrase is peculiar to this Latin version, and differs from the original Arabic, which reads "from" rather than "like to".
