CONCEPTUAL KEY

Arrow

  • Symbol of intercommunication between heaven and earth, representing God's responses to men;

  • Dante uses it to represent destiny;

  • It represents the liberation of imagination, breaking the barriers of space and time that confine the human being;

Based on a concept similar to that of Fatalism (a doctrine that affirms the existence of a succession of events, related to a cosmic order, controlled by a superior entity, and from which it is impossible to escape), this image symbolizes the path of a being according to this ideology.

With water being a symbol of purification and reflection, it represents both the past and a new stage for human beings.

The eclipse (symbol of renewal, new beginnings, and opportunities) represents the future, and when presented in the form of an eye, becomes the divine entity itself.
