  • One of my all-time favorite pieces… La Renaissance de Trois: French for ‘the rebirth of three.’ Three standing for the trinity (past, present, future… mind, body, soul). Rebirth is represented by the Oriental Lily (which there is three of for the trinity), which is representative of purity and a new beginning in Chinese culture. Culturally, the symbol of the triad can be understood as a key to the integrity and interdependence of all existence. But then again, I suppose it all depends on what you believe.

  • Mutantur Omnia Nos Et Mutamur In Illis – Things Change and We Change With Them ren·ais·sance /ˌrɛnəˈsɑns, -ˈzɑns, -ˈsɑ̃s, ˈrɛnəˌsɑns, -ˌzɑns, -ˌsɑ̃s; / noun / (lowercase) a renewal of life, vigor, interest, etc.; rebirth; revival: a moral renaissance. [Origin: 1830–40; < F, MF: rebirth, equiv. to renaiss- (s. of renaistre to be born again < L renāscī; re- re- + nāscī to be born) + -ance -ance] / Synonyms 4. resurgence, reawakening. The Phoenix and the Ouroboros together in eternal renewal and rebirth. The Ouroboros (pronounced /ˌjʊəroʊˈbɒrəs/ or /ʊˈrɒbɔrɔs/) is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon swallowing its own tail and forming a circle. / In some representations the serpent is shown as half light and half dark, echoing symbols such as the Taijitu, which illustrates the dual nature of all things, but more importantly, that these opposites are not in conflict. It is also often associated with Gnosticism, and Hermeticism. The Ouroboros is one of the oldest mystical symbols in the world. The serpent or dragon appears in Aztec, Middle East, and Native American mythologies, among others. The notion of a serpent or dragon eating its own tail can be traced back to Ancient Egypt, circa 1600 BC. From ancient Egypt it passed to Phoenicia and then to the Greek philosophers, who gave it the name Ouroboros (“tail-devourer”). In Norse mythology, it appears as the serpent Jörmungandr, one of the three children of Loki and Angrboda; in Gnosticism, this serpent symbolized eternity and the soul of the world. It is also present in some Hindu folk-myths, as a snake (Adisesha). Snakes are sacred animals in many West African religions. The demi-god Aidophedo uses the image of a serpent biting its own tail. The god Quetzalcoatl is sometimes portrayed as an ouroboros on Aztec and Toltec ruins. The Ouroboros often represents self-reflexivity or cyclicality, constantly re-creating itself, cycles that begin anew as soon as they end. The ouroboros eats its own tail to sustain its life, in an eternal cycle of renewal. Sound familiar? The phoenix (Ancient Greek: Φοῖνιξ, phoínix) is a mythical bird with a 1,000 year life-cycle. near the end the phoenix builds itself a nest of cinnamon twigs that it then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises. Is it a coincidence to find myths and symbols echoing through the ages, through different continents, cultures and spiritualities? Could they represent a dynamic that has and still does exist in the world? Something to think about…

  • I discovered a face in the work of Leonardo da Vinci – I decided to had eyes and glasses. Hidden of the Vitruvian Man. “Leonardo envisaged the great picture chart of the human body he had produced through his anatomical drawings and Vitruvian Man as a cosmografia del minor mondo (cosmography of the microcosm). He believed the workings of the human body to be an analogy for the workings of the universe.”

renaissance – information provided by wikipedia:

The Renaissance (from French Renaissance, meaning "rebirth"; Italian: Rinascimento, from re- "again" and nascere "be born") was a cultural movement that spanned roughly the 14th through the 17th century, beginning in Italy in the late Middle Ages and later spreading to the rest of Europe. It encompassed a revival of learning based on classical sources, the development of linear perspective in painting, and educational reform. The Renaissance saw developments in most intellectual pursuits, but is perhaps best known for its artistic aspect and the contributions of such polymaths as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, who have inspired the term "Renaissance men".
