Give it Meaning

I designed it and I have a few thoughts of my own but I would like to see other peoples interpretation of the image.

As you can see, the cat is standing on the ground, or earth. The air surrounds it and the cat is full of life. The cat is moving forward in time, turning his back on the possibility of death, carefree as it is. Its shadow represents its dark side; how it kills other creatures to survive, and represents the evil within every living creature.

In other words, I have no idea.

Edit: Damn cat. I thought it was a dog.

Catdogwolf thingies with wings. Reminds me of legend of kalevala.

The land it stands on.
The surrounding atmosphere.
It's shadow.
State of being.
Obliviousness, bit of a daredevil.
Passion and vengeful.
Direction of movement of existence.
I don't know.
Main propulsion.
Unknown
What is uses to clean itself.
How it sees.

How is this philosophy?

Sidenote: Symbols do not have inherent meaning.

Did you just say that = Evil?
(Waits for Bloodshadow to pop up.)

How is this philosophy?

It could be Philosophy of the Mind, more specifically how others interpret a subject and how the creator of the subject meant for others to interpret the subject.

Philosophy of the Mind would entail discussing and interpreting the interpretations.

But to discuss and interpret interpretations, you must first have interpretations. ;]

I will be pleasantly surprised if this thread becomes a discussion on how the Mind interprets the Body's observations.

Images put together in some free image program like GIMP by some hipster who's trying too hard to be meaningful. Of course, that's only if the artist was TRYING to be serious...

It is where I thought something like this would fit.

Sidenote: Symbols do not have inherent meaning.
True they do not have inherent meaning.

In the image most of the symbols location is what gives them meaning.
at this point Malebolgia is most in tune with what I was thinking.

Much of this was simply inspired and a few symbols I'm not sure why I put them where I did.
I will let this go a bit more before I reveal the rest of my thoughts.

That 'hipster' happens to be the Art Curator. If you can't contribute meaningfully to the discussion then don't post.
