THE
ANSWER: The symbol you are seeing
is an abstracted and conceptual representation of the
female pelvis. Although many have given their answer as a telephone,
antlers, fancy faucet handles or even the female reproductive tract
or ovaries, this is an abstraction of the actual pelvic bone itself. Please scroll down to read all of the submissions. |

||||
| 25-JUN-05 Cat V. Lawton, OK USA I see the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, etc... Looking at it gives me a feeling of a sort of peacefulness, a hint of sensuality from the slick swoop of the curves. It also reminds me a bit of maternalness; this is the loving cradle. Somehow it also says to me "things will be ok." |

| 29-AUG-05 Lorin Graham Old Chatham, NY USA My immediate response to your image is that it represents the human pelvis (pelvic bone). That reaction seems natural, as I have just spent time admiring the lovely female forms in your photos. After more reflection, I can imagine other meanings for the symbol - a stylized set of moose antlers, the jaw of an ant/grasshopper - but I really think it is a pelvis. Looking at it, I have an impression of balance and also of strength. |

||||
| 26-SEP-05 Tara Lucan New York, NY USA These appear to be the two Os Coxae that make up the female pelvis. I say female because of how far apart the two illium are set. Personally, I associate this symbol with the power/strength of women to bring forth life. I think of the womb, a place of warmth, development, and nurturing; a place of universal magic and mystery, indiscriminate to race or even species. |
||||

||||
| 9-DEC-05 Jill Raff NY, NY USA Wow, I see so many things. Depending on one's mindset,gender, or stage in life, it could be: ovaries and felopian(sp?) tubes (LOL), antlers, a human profile on it's side,... How does it make me feel? Hmmmm, I'm not sure.

||||
| 22-JAN-06 Colin Talcroft Santa Rosa USA A pelvis, a feminine pelvis; at the same time, the female reproductive organs--both internal and the vulva--; and simultaneously a bow drawn taught and crossed by the shaft of an arrow. Then again, it might just be a maple seed. I can see it twirling.... |

||||
| 6-MAR-06 Kerri Danskin Spring Lake Heights, NJ, USA I think this is a pelvis! It makes me think about reproduction, of course, and also how it mirrors the shape of the female reproductive system. It feels to me sort of fragile, and makes me think how amazing it is that all of this weight (literally and figuratively) is carried in this area of the body. The bones (and the woman - not thinking about it on a man, for some reason) must be very strong. |
||||

There is no greater Creator! |
||||
| 12-JAN-07 Emilia Farkašova Prešov, SLOVAKIA The hieroglyph symbolizes sensed unity, complexity of the creature called the man, yet the unity is dispersed by millions and millions of stimulus of the world materialized /i.e the world we think is real/. Each and everyone is two within one. One for this world, and the other is the man for nobody, he/she is the realization of pure existence. This means no mistake. We are growing, tested and loved. Life after life,the birth and the death....the full potential of our species is meant to be revealed. We taste many extremes, but there is only one consciousness, one balance and one real world. We return and come back. The hieroglyph resembles uterus, but evokes also other symbols for me, butterfly, spine and brain. It makes me feel balanced and calm.... |

||||
| 9-MAR-07 Okyrhoe@yahoo.com Athens, Greece my response is immediate. being a woman, i can't think long and hard! i see a human pelvis bone. my impression to what it appears to be is neutral. the glyph itself, i would say that it resembles japanese 'mon' (family crests), as the shape has a geometrical balance (mirror vertical halves) and it is inspired by an object found in nature. |

The ovaries and tubes converge towards the vagina, delicately represented by the minimalist cleft between the two halves of the hieroglyph. The labia, on the other hand, are very obvious and indicate a sexual awakening and strong desire from the woman in question. The uterus is completely absent in the drawing, yet strongly represented by the conspicuous empty space between the two ovaries. I
like this hieroglyph because it is very powerful in conveying a respect |

| 22-SEP-07 Jim McKinniss Redondo Beach, CA USA A human pelvis. The symmetry and flow of the curves is both relaxing and stimulating. It is interesting to me that each half, when viewed separately from the other, takes on a somewhat abstract human form. |
||||
| 24-SEP-07 Kerry Dorf San Francisco, CA USA I immediately felt the form of a woman, the pelvis to be specific. I like it very much, it has a very organic feel to me. |

| 31-OCT-07 Mark Wade El Cajon, California USA Apprehension. Fear. Darkness. Wonder. The place where we as humans, set apart in limited circumstance among the, animal world, have our beginning. Where single cells explode with a brief, yet profound electrical charge, to set in motion, that most precious and complex of all things...life. |

| 2-NOV-07 Iris Dayoub-Schweizer London, UK pelvis. its quite amazing that one could conjour up such a mix of feelings. for one, im happy to know that mine served me well, housed and protected two children during pregnancy. secondly, that its shape, size and proportion are directly related to how attractive i feel and how attractive i am to the opposite sex. |

||||
| 14-NOV-07 Lora McKnight Boise, Idaho USA My gut reaction to this shape is that it is a set of ovaries, leading to the cervix, etc. Then I thought maybe a a top view of the pubic bones. But I'm sticking with my first reaction. If in fact that is what it is, then I think that as a heiroglyph it is very accurate... kind of sterile, but accurate. My impression is simple and that of woman, child bearing, the female body and one of it's purposes. It seems very simple but obvious (to me at least!) |
||||
| 15-NOV-07 Michele Schenker New York City USA I want to say the antlers of an annular moose, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't know that it was a pelvis. |
||||
| 23-NOV-07 Pam Norton London, UK It looks rather like a human pelvis. The shaping at the bottom and the obvious slot are very suggestive of female labia (shapely girl!) and vagina. It makes me smile - I like showing off and it is all rather nicely suggestive. |
||||
| 23-NOV-07 Karen Parker Washington, DC USA this symbolizes the essence of femaleness (the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries) which comprise the gateway to life. looking at this representation of what makes me such a vessel makes me feel regal, and special. |

| 18-NOV-07 Karen Suen-Cooper London, United Kingdom I see the maple seed pod, like the ones in childhood we use to toss in the air to watch stream in flight. I remember the joyful gesture of throwing handfuls of pods into the air filling me with glee and wonder as I watched the pods' confetti flight spiraling gently and festively to the ground. I remember the mystery and curiosity, questioning how there can be so many pods strewn about the ground, all identical, all capable of flight, not knowing then that the pods really carried life. It's reassuring to know that nature endowed life with locomotion so it can be everywhere. I personally like the elegance of flight and nature's lightness of touch. It's rather apt that my interpretation of this shape can so easily be used to describe Mr. Cooper's artistic endeavors, the elegance, the wonder and the ascension of aspiration. As we are on his site, this shape now doubt is associated with the feminine mystique and its ability to inspire glee, mystery, curiosity and produce life. It's unimportant to me whether this object is defined and more crucial that it unlocks the life of ideas. |

| 4-DEC-07 Nathan Glynn Saint Joseph, Missouri United States I see the rudimentary structure of the pelvis or the female reproductive system. There is a inate female and maternal quality to this glyph that is quite interesting. |

| 17-APR-08 Daniela Smith New York City, USA I think that this is the stylized and slightly exaggerated presentation of the bony structure located at the base of the spine, called PELVIS. I suppose, this is the female pelvis, since the Infrapubic angle is greater than 90 degrees. |

| 23-JUN-09 Mike Hoffman Colorado Springs, CO, USA The image appears to me to be a view from above of two hip bones joined together in the front (in the lower middle of the image) at the pubic symphysis, a slightly movable joint just below the surface of the skin under the tantalizing mons pubis a few inches below the umbilicus. Dropping down from the symphysis on either side is part of the left and right pubic bones where they go down to meet the left and right ischia, respectively. Moving left and right from the pubic symphysis (at the top thereof) is another part of the pubic bones where they meet up with the broad blade of the ilium on each side, shown here as nearly circular structures. The sacrum is not shown but would be located between the rear parts of each ilia. The image is a beautiful stylization of this important anatomical feature which supports our upper body and forms the conduit through which life new life leaves our mothers. There is an embracing feeling I get when viewing this image, an embrace of lover to lover and the new life formed within its safe and warm embrace. Thank you. This is lovely. |
||||
| 11-JUL-09 Alex Slaughter Seattle, WA, USA I work in the medical field, and this looks just like a pelvis--I would presume with the wide opening and the curved lines, that this is meant to represent the female proportions of the pelvic anatomy, which are designed to accommodate parturition. |

| 21-AUG-09 John Forsdike Ontario, CANADA I believe that it is of 2 female figures that are looking at each other. They are communicating through the attched or touching segment. The upper portions are the faces without any features (alien like). This shape is reflected in their pelvic girdles that are interconnected. |

||||
| 16-AUG-10 Marie-capucine Arnoux Bignolas Toulouse, FRANCE Feminine pelvis. But why? Modern bold curved lip details add to the sensuality of the shape. Almost a cartoon version of a Yves Klein-esque pelv-print, with the addition of a discreet aperture.. How it makes me feel? A simplified version of the mark I might leave on a lover. Always a pleasure to become better acquainted with an artist that doesn't shy away from women below the breast. |
