I worked with a lot of symbolism: Empty bottle - Message in a bottle, symbol of a message, of a journey that is being started In this case it was my journey, because it was the first picture after my “apprenticeship” and the beginning of my work. - In the image content, the empty bottle stands as a symbol for misfortune, loss, longing o Circe drives the sailors to ruin, to misery Horn (neku) Has several meanings, but they are similar 1. Derivation from the Hebrew, ram's horn - Here as a symbol for the shofar, the trumpet o Conquest of Jericho, collapse of the walls, stands for the sinking of the ships, destruction o Also of the memory of the divine, the primal force (here for the stormy sea); sacrifice Images in the background 3 women - Stand here for the 3 goddesses of fate, the Moiren, the Trias Cup / goblet on the back right on the table Holy Grail - water of life, holiness of woman, childbirth, etc. Has many meanings ... o Here in Circe he stands for the power of women as actual creation and mother above everything, as the origin of life, ... because she gives o Also a little for the Templars, because I have a soft spot for this epoch
