Key Symbols

• A young man walks away from eight silver cups that have been stacked, pyramid style. A gap in the center, however, threatens the stability of the arrangement.

• Symbolically, the cups represent a life that seems to be carefully ordered and arranged — except for one key piece.

• He might be off to find the missing piece — or he might be abandoning the project, unwilling or unable to complete it.

• His walking stick suggests that he’s planning a long journey.

• The young man is dressed in blue, the elemental color of water. It indicates that he’s emotional and deep, and that he’s practicing water magic.

• He’s pictured in an autumn landscape, because the suit of cups corresponds to the season of autumn.
