Absolute structure
As for the oak, it is the Tree of Life: birds and animals populate its branches; the phoenix, the symbol of ever-renewing life, emerges from it; its two central branches intersect in the same way as the human nervous system emerges from the cerebral cortex, the image of the Absolute Structure.
The Three Men of Mamre (52 x 71) 1978.
“Iahweh appeared to Abraham at the oak of Mamre, while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent, in the heat of the day.
And he lifted up his eyes, and behold, three men stood by him.
And when he saw them, he ran to meet them and bowed himself to the ground.
And he said, “My lord, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thy sight, please do not pass by thy servant without stopping” (Gen. XVIII, 1,2,3).
There are three of them, but Abraham addresses them in the singular. Is this a prefiguration of the Trinity? That is why they are identical.
As for the oak, it is the Tree of Life: birds and animals inhabit its branches; the phoenix, symbol of ever-renewing life, emerges from him; its two central branches cross as in the human nervous system emerging from the cerebral cortex, image of the Absolute Structure.
Likewise the sun on the right and the moon on the left.

The fig tree is the Tree of Life here: the central branches cross like the nerves in the cervical cortex: the Creator's hand between them... It's a vision of peace. "Judah and Israel lived safely, each under his own vine and fig tree (1. Kings 4, 25) CC
Under the vine and under the fig tree (32 x 40 cm) 1981.
The fig tree is the Tree of Life: central branches crossed like the nerves in the cervical cortex: the hand of the creator between them.
The right (sun) - left (moon) structure is that of the Tree.
It is a vision of peace.
''Judah and Israel dwelt in safety, each under his vine and under his fig tree''(I. Kings IV, 25).
I will remove the iniquity of this country in a single day.
On that day, oracle of Yahweh - Sabaoth -, you will invite yourselves under the vine and under the fig tree (Zac .III, 9b,10.
