Comment

Allegory of today. The woman and the technological explorer of the universe.

The profile of a woman, more and more present in society, flanked by the polyhedral waves of a radar, which make it possible to scrutinize the earth, the seas, the spaces, and ideally become the parallels of the terrestrial globe and the orbits of the planets.
