Description
The Minotaur. At the top right two white-haired silhouettes are kissing: Eve and Adam. Are they at the origin of our existence? The cane of the old Minotaur is transparent it would symbolize clairvoyance because of the notoriety of the Minotaur in the artistic world. Man can/must find his way, free himself thanks to Ariadne's thread (to sacred knowledge). Two identities (Feminine and Masculine) are seated in the heart of the lotus, in the middle of its petals. This flower grows in ponds, it is difficult for her to grow in the silt of often muddy swamps. Carried away by the living water, it must resist the storms, bend under the waves. After this fight against the forces of nature, it can finally blossom and flower under all the suns of the earth. This is the strength of the Lotus. Around a nucleus, her heart, she conquered all that was hostile to her. There, in the heart of the Lotus, Feminine and Masculine express themselves. She, a feminine identity with a white mask, a symbol of purity, casts a lively gaze imbued with spirituality towards the heavens. He, male identity, with a red mask, stares at the old Minotaur (earthly symbol). The rope drawing hearts in space is none other than Ariadne's thread that captured the two eyes together. On the surface of the water, we can see geometric spaces taking shape, secret initiatory passages leading to the different stages of spiritual elevations. Traveling between continents, religions and spiritual quests, Man has chosen the path of Wisdom. Universality has vanquished the Myth of the Monster.
