In Aura, Felipe leaves his ordinary life behind, represented by his conscious state of mind, and enters Consuelo’s home to experience the unrealities of his subconscious, much like how a surrealist artists taps into his/her subconscious to create artwork. Euler’s equation, a never ending spiral on an imaginary axis, represents how tapping into the subconscious can create a never ending loop that battles imaginary vs. reality. I want to use this image to show how Felipe ends up staying in this endless loop, as he chooses not to leave Aura, and remain in his subconscious. I will use an actual drawing of the image for the essay but since the actual equation in the mathematical world battles reality, I thought it would fit well.

I like the concept you introduced and it makes sense considering that there is a sense of repitition in Aura where this relationship seems to be everlasting in a cycle as in the diagram. The straight line for me resembles time and how this cycle is possibly infinite.

This is really cool, Sharda! You’re image is not only original, as connected to this story, but quite apt, I think. I look forward to reading this!
