This is an oil on Belgian linen.The work measures 27" high x 36" long x 1.5" deep. The back of the stretcher is hand signed and hand numbered by the artist. The signature (S. Mozer) and the date (2019) appears on the face of the work in the form of a rebus in the lower right hand side of the work, unobtrusively replicating a maker's mark for the founrdry that fabricated the coffee-colored support column.   The work depicts a faceless father, poised to catch a pendant child who contemplates dropping down a slide. The father's image is obfuscated, serving as a metaphor for his unseen deeds. The child enjoys an illusion of danger while apparently oblivious to parental protection. It is through the ritual of play that this image depicts a primary mechanism for expressing and reinforcing the sentiments and solidarity of the kinship group.   It is clear that this ritual event is seen not as generating ideas of the sacred but as the means whereby social facts - primarily the preexisting idea of the clan and its accompanying symbolism - are reaffirmed and given authority in terms of individual human consciousness. Collective representations, because they are collective and sanctified through symbolism, become immutable.
