    Iconography

    Description

    Une grande spirale verte, rouge, bleue, violette et jaune symbolise l’évolution de l’élève durant ses études. Le pourtour blanc, disparaissant au dernier tour de la spirale, représente l’encadrement scolaire. Au centre, une flèche jaune traverse la spirale et marque la libération de l’élève à la fin de ses études de la structure académique afin de prendre son propre chemin, dans un esprit de verticalité comme l’indique la flèche qui révèle un monde en plusieurs dimensions, un monde d’ouverture et de potentialités (concept imaginé par l’artiste).
