My piece intends to represent Freedom and Friendship. The figures present on it are Mars (the reddish one), Jupiter (the dog shaped one), Saturn (the yellowish and clear one), Uranos (the blueish one), and Neptune (the sky blue sphere). I chose to give some of them a human silhouette in order to give them more presence, and to reinforce the meaning of them, the ¨why¨ of choosing  them. I chose the planets because I think they are free, at least according to the human concept,  I also made the rings of Saturn appear as wings because wings are a symbol of freedom.  I added the dog to represent Friendship.  I believe there is no more pure friendship than the one a dog gives you if you treat them with love, respect and equality.  That is the reason I added the bunny.   Neptune is a ball, which Saturn and Jupiter are playing with, while Mars is watching them and Uranos is going around them.  They complement and accompany each other, like friends and family.
