"I chose the Ideogram of Saturn because of its duality. Originally, Saturn was known as the god of growth and triumph. Another thing that drew me to the ideogram is the representation of our relentless reality. I think that we need a realistic visual representation of the material conditions in life to construct our ideas and future.
Blooming flora on a symbol framed by a raging sea. Budding trees are the simplest representation of a cycle, that I've seen, which seems to say everything has it's season, even though things may seem difficult now we must give more so we can be reborn."
