My ambigram

My fellow Goawriters' group member, José Lourenço, did my manuscript ambigram, as you can see below.
He claims that it is actually easy to generate ambigrams. Software programs already exist for this. He found at least two. "One is seriffed and the other non-seriffed. But they produce rather complicated font structures that are difficult to read."

José finds better to use his imagination and come up with an original. "Its like a riddle and can take some time to come up with solutions. But if you know the person, its also fun to make the ambigram come alive with that person's character". I was the last in his first series. Mine was "an effort at minimalism, a la  Wendell" (Rodricks), where he celebrated "the sexuality of the woman". José pointed out how "nice was to see that there is an inherent symmetry, albeit a perceived one, even in our names." For him "it was a pleasure to sit with a pencil and actually scratch these images on a drawing pad. Because of continuous keyboard use we tend to lose touch with our manual skills."

I loved his work!!! Thanks José!

I love the word ambigram. Not that I like ambiguous people, in the sense people who use ambiguity as a tool to be better opportunists. But all of us have innate inner ambiguities that we like or not and that can be a endless source of inner work or joy.

To be truthful at first I only saw the sandglass and took me some time to realize that time can be sexual too. Then I saw something else that reminded me of one of my photography works called "Man or Woman in the Temple":

I guess we both celebrate the same thing disrespecting its gender.
