The Sheep
The work depicts the sheep, an animal that acts as a link between the two protagonists of the author’s work. On the one hand, it symbolizes the sustenance of the irrational, accompanying the Cyclops Polyphemus. On the other, it represents the salvation of reason, serving as a means of escape for Ulysses and his companions. Visually, the sheep’s large eye stands out, a clear allusion to its owner, the Cyclops Polyphemus. The texture evokes the nomadic movement characteristic of this animal, while the explosion of particles symbolizes the ultimate triumph of the rational over the irrational.
