The Archetype
Bernini, Michelangelo, and Schiele collide into one embrace here, angels watching from above. Jung called this the coniunctio — the alchemical union of opposites within a single psyche, mirrored outward in real love between real people. It's not about finding a missing half. It's about two wholes choosing contact.
