P.N. stands for Psychonaut, a person who uses intentionally induced altered states of consciousness to explore their mind, and find possible answers to spiritual questions through direct experience.
Each painting in the "P.N." series is combined with a framed paper work that is a text drawing based on one of Martin Luther's 95 Theses, which Zipp translated into English. The respective serial number of the diptych refers to the corresponding thesis of Luther quoted in the drawing, sometimes there are several. In the presented work it is the 51st thesis.
