The first work in the Rocking Chairs series, Horse on Fire (Kon-Agon), is an aspiration for a fast and powerful mode of transportation, substantiated in fire and iron. A good racehorse was once worth the price of gold; today, almost everyone fantasizes about owning a car, a motorcycle, or even an airplane, over which one can feel complete and successful. This desire begins with a child’s rocking chair, when we portray ourselves as knights jumping on horseback to unknown distances, and it continues throughout life, taking several other forms of expression. A new opportunity to satisfy the eternal need: the grown-up boys can re-saddle the bay horse and rush to meet their destiny, full of glory and applause.
