At the top of the composition are guiding arcs and angular scales - reminiscent of telescope mounts, sextant elements, and the tools of old observatories.

They point upward and to the right - toward the unknown, where the gaze of a scientist, explorer, or dreamer is naturally drawn. 

Built-in lenses reveal miniature images of distant galaxies: small flashes of other worlds. They remind us that the path of discovery begins where the familiar view ends.

Surrounding the central clock are the signs of the Zodiac. Each sign is more than a symbol - it is an image humanity has carried through millennia, linking constellations to myths, characters, and personal destinies. 

Every person inevitably associates themselves with one of these signs - and through this emerges a personal connection to the sky. This circle is a mirror of the eternal attempt to find one’s reflection in the stars.

This astrolabe combines features of a sextant and a sundial.

Folding arcs, angular scales, and the triangular solar gnomon echo the tools once used to measure the height of celestial bodies, determine latitude, and read time.

It is an ode to an era when people calculated their place in the world manually - by a ray of sunlight and the angle between the sky and the horizon.

This astrolabe is a window into the night.

Beneath the lens lies a precise star map, and around the circle - glowing constellation symbols.

The astrolabe is one of humanity’s oldest computational instruments, born in an age when people believed Earth was the center of the Universe.

It is sometimes called the first computer: a device full of mystery and beauty that allowed one to read the sky.

Here, it is a small fragment of the cosmos embedded directly into the structure.

Earth appears as a rotating northern hemisphere.

Through the lens one can see the continents, while numbers along the outer ring mark time zones.

This element bridges the celestial and the terrestrial - the map of the world we explore while standing on its surface and gazing upward.
