I am not sure I believe him. But I was curious whether I could give the idea a chance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCan poetry be looked at through a mathematical eye? The answer belongs to whoever is looking, and most of all to whoever will carry this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bag is small and unisex. The symbol on it is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a phoenix, built from a series of intersecting Fibonacci curves. Not drawn the ordinary way, not faithful and pictorial, but geometric. The tail is not made of feathers. It is an explosion of elliptical orbits opening out in a fan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI refused to draw it. A drawn peacock is a beautiful bird and nothing more. I wanted one that could not exist unless you calculated it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhoenix, or peacock. The old legends say the flesh of a peacock does not rot after the bird is cut, which made it a symbol of incorruptibility and of eternal life as far back as antiquity. Freemasonry took it up for the same reason: the passage from the profane to the perfected, the victory of spirit over matter that spoils. The tail became the light of higher knowledge, for those who climb the upper degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAround the circle, three words. Centrum. Cosmos. Labyrinthus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhoenix or peacock, poetry seen through a mathematical eye, for me it stays the same thing. The dignity of someone who finds their own light, on the inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI worked the leather myself, through a play of temperature and pressure. The design is mine. There is no other like it in the world, and there will be another only if I decide so, in other colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e21 cm long, 9.5 wide and 19 high.
