"I believe that people can change things for
the better with art and trees."
Janus was usually
depicted with two faces looking in
opposite directions. Janus was frequently
used to symbolize change and transitions
such as the progression of past to
future, of one condition to another, of
one vision to another, the growing up of
young people, and of one universe to
another. He was also known as the figure
representing time because he could see
into the past with one face and into the
future with the other. Hence, Janus was
worshipped at the beginnings of the
harvest and planting times, as well as
marriages, births and other beginnings.
He was representative of the middle
ground between barbarity and
civilization, rural country and urban
cities, and youth and adulthood.
