It is a trinity of the union between earth/mother, sky/father, and the object/offspring.
«Scorched earth, struggling to break free from the bonds of the desert fire, rises toward the higher realms.
Meanwhile,
The golden sky, aided by a silver crystal, is drawn down to the earth and descends upon it.»
The form was an answer to the question:
«How can one draw the heavens down to earth and then conceal the answer from sight?»
The “Sky”, which serves as the cipher of the question, hides itself from view through the curves of the design.
The red earth reveals itself openly as a veil, shrouding the sky and keeping it hidden from sight.
