Capricorne

"No doubt the Zodiac is for some a dense forest of facilities, of futile deceptions, of lame symbolism. But the man who knows how to see and believes and loves to know finds in these strange figures, water, earth, vapours, minerals, these four sublimated or familiar corners where the trusts, the hopes, the seeds and the gestures of the man who sings in front of the sun, his eyes fixed straight on the Light, are inserted. [1]

Since ancient times, Capricorn has been embodied in the bust of a goat and the body of a fish. Being the first sign of the winter cycle, this explains the cold colors chosen by the artist to represent it. We imagine that the luminescent shapes that surround it are other stars inhabiting the universe.
