Description
The sculptural composition is one of the works of the cycle Signs of the Zodiac, representing small Bodhisattvas who rise in a meditative state in the lotus position above their symbolic sign. According to the spiritual teachings of the East, the current era is characterized by the arrival of a thousand Buddhas – enlightened consciousnesses – into the world. “Buddha” literally means: “awakened” or “enlightened”, that is, one who has completely purified his essence and discovered the extraordinary possibilities of the spiritual nature of the God-man.
The Capricorn boy sits in the lotus position in complete concentration. The inspired, concentrated face of the Bodhisattva indicates a deep immersion in the world of Spirit. The intense thinking activity of the boy with all responsibility creates whole worlds around. Humanity is only beginning to realize the great creative or destructive power of thoughts. Consciousness cleansed of selfish aspirations by the power of thinking about the common good can contribute to the realization of this good in the world. The author depicted the sculpture of Capricorn in the process of creativity with the efforts of pure thought.
