Tempera on canvas. 1999. 115 х 85 cm

The name is a line from a hymn of Mother of the World. Our lady sends a message by the swan Kalakhamsa. The swan is a never-dying personification of triad of a person (an individual soul, the supreme mind, divine spirit) and of communication between the spiritual and the dense world. In many religions, various birds are symbols of communication between heaven and earth, god and person. The Mother's shield is decorated by the Chintamani signs in twelve spurts of a flame according to the number of zodiac constellations. On the shield there are symbols of septenary structure of a person, and also the connection of the five elements: ground, water, air, fire and ether.
