Sculptor
Hong Kong (CNN)A crowd of people jostle for a
closer look at the naked woman crouching on her knees. Phones held aloft, the
group shamelessly take pictures of her bare back and bottom -- safe in the
knowledge she won't be waking up anytime soon. The remarkably life-like nude
sculpture, created by Australian artist Sam Jinks, was by far the most
photographed work at this year's Art Basel in Hong Kong, a three-day art fair
that has attracted tens of thousands of visitors since it first launched nearly
three years ago. March 18; http://cnn.it/1MW2Qh9
The chart for
the Aries Ingress at Hongkong has the Sun [0ar00] placed on the Ascendant conjunct the star
alpha Sculptoris [0ar42] [1]. About this constellation, Nick Fiorenza writes
[2]:
Here we are concerned with the origins
of life on Earth, the creation of the human form, and water, the very
foundation of life. The South Galactic Pole (SGC), the foundation of the
galactic plane, resides in Sculptoris, the sculptor’s studio, and the Sculptor
Group of Galaxies. Alpha Sculptor and the Sculptor Galaxy conjoin and embrace
the South Galactic Pole. They articulate the formation of human life from the
primordial waters of life, the molding of clay into human form. Although a recent
addition to stellar mythical imagery, aptly Sculptor is from the Latin
sculpere, meaning to cut (sculpt)--in this case, to sculpt life itself. Alpha
Sculptor stimulates our need to create our lives from the primordial forces of
life.
