insofar as icons relate to the manifestation of divine, we also see a connection here. this theme is perhaps multiplied in the title of her as “queen of heaven” and some lingering associations of her with the mother mary. the heaven or the sky resonates with the concept of akasha or aether which is meant to be the basic medium underneath all manifestation. it also makes me think of heidegger’s discussion of his fourfold as well

>The sky is the place of the shining of things and stars. The sky is that into which the earth extends itself and marks its limits, yet the sky is also that from which the earth withdraws and, by withdrawing, lets the things shine and radiate through the sky. The sky is not simply an emptiness or a void, but rather the space in which changing, moving, becoming-different, and difference occur. The sky is the place in which that which appears arises and converses with us, with the mortals. The sky covers, and is above, the earth and the mortals. This covering changes the things and weathers them, for the thing is linked together with, and refers to, what lies beyond it, the sky.
notice here that there is not only a discussion here of manifestation but also of becoming-different. this relates to the question of iterability once again. the imageboard format and the general nature of digital technology demands that we write and rewrite, draw and redraw, if we are to actually participate in these practices as active participants and not just passive recievers. it is also somewhat resonant with derrida’s discussion of writing as always already involving a rewriting. in some sense we have never really had a religion that fully makes use of the sort of opportunities derrida thinks writing provides.
