Ledoux, Eye Enclosing the Theatre at Besancon, France, 1847.
Each of the chakras is made up of a different element. Light is the element for the Agnya Chakra (Brow Centre) which governs vision. In this slightly surreal engraving from the 17th century the image of the interior of a circular theatre appears apparently reflected in an eye, yet strangely the ray of light streaming through the oculus in the theatre's dome extends outside the eye.
