The Eye of Horus: Ancient Proportions in Modern Vision #9
The Eye of Horus stands as a profound symbol bridging ancient Egyptian cosmology with enduring principles of proportion, sacred geometry, and visual perception. More than myth, it embodies a sophisticated understanding of balance, healing, and cosmic alignment—principles still echoed in modern science and design.
The Eye as Divine Vision and Cosmic OrderIn ancient Egypt, the Eye of Horus was not merely a mythic artifact but a sacred emblem of divine protection, restoration, and cosmic harmony. Horus, the falcon-headed god, represented both the sky and the king’s divine authority. The Eye symbolized Horus’s ability to restore sight and life—legend holds it regained after a battle with Set, mirroring the body’s healing and equilibrium.
