Vesica Piscis
Vesica Piscis in Latin translates to “bladder of the fish.” Can you find the fish in the painting above?
The fish symbol appears in Christian art and literature as early as the 2nd century AD.
It's a name for a pointed oval shape that's made by overlapping two circles of equal size. In sacred geometry it represents the “design of creation”— two wholes coming together in divine union to birth a new life.
Magical Mathematical Ratio
The square root symbol, √3, represents a mystical concept in mathematics. It refers to a specific type of lens—a geometric shape created by the intersection of two disks of the same radius. These disks intersect in such a way that the center of each disk lies on the perimeter of the other.
What if this is an etheric bridge that unites opposites: the physical and spiritual, the masculine and feminine, and perhaps Heaven and Earth? For me, this is an exciting concept to explore—a connection to the hidden order of our world and the interconnectedness of all things expressed through art.
