What I can see
The sculpture “Cosmogony” is placed on a low marble pedestal. Human figures “squeeze” into the boundaries of the oval shape, which probably symbolizes an egg or a seed, from which the world was created (hence the title Cosmogony, i.e. the origin of the universe).
What I can't see
It is part of the artist Ioannis Parmakelis’ research on the geometric adaptation of circular and oval shapes.
