The image is a monochromatic print comprising a collection of twelve panels laid out in a 3x4 grid. Each panel is dedicated to a different symbolic representation associated with a pair of astrological signs and a month of the year. It appears to be an artistic interpretation or conceptual art piece where each symbol combines abstract shapes with elements of nature and cosmic motifs, possibly relating to themes of birth, growth, transformation, and fulfillment.
Each panel includes a title, astrological signs, a month, an illustration, and a paragraph of text which seems to be a poetic description of the symbol. The text for each symbol is likely to offer allegorical insights or inspirational messages tying together astrology and existential reflection. The titles are, from top left to bottom right:
1. The Cloud: Capricorn-Aquarius January
2. The Cave: Aquarius-Pisces February
3. The Egg Shell: Pisces-Aries March
4. The Spirit: Aries-Taurus April
5. The Dance: Taurus-Gemini May
6. The Fruit: Gemini-Cancer June
7. Consonance: Cancer-Leo July
8. Fulfillment: Leo-Virgo August
9. Propagation: Virgo-Libra September
10. Inclination: Libra-Scorpio October
11. The Dividing: Scorpio-Sagittarius November
12. Resolution: Sagittarius-Capricorn December
The illustrations are minimalistic and abstract, suggesting a sense of flow and transformation, and the connection to the cosmos and life cycles. The art style is consistent across all panels, using fluid lines, organic shapes, and simple geometric forms. The overall design of the print is orderly and has an interpretive, mystical quality to it.
The text at the bottom right corner indicates "The Tokyo Zokei University", and there appears to be a signature or credit for the creation of the artwork, although the details are not fully legible. This might indicate that the piece is educational or part of a project from an art university.
