Dome

Both the title of this work and the image of the dome with a lone figure inside refer to Kiefer's view that there is no single system or belief, such as Marxism or Christianity, that is appropriate for all people. "Each man has his own dome, his own perceptions, his own theories," Kiefer has noted.
