Symbolism
A man turns away under the moonlight from eight cups arranged in a row, staff in hand, heading toward distant mountains. The crescent moon above and the rugged road symbolize the unknown inner terrain ahead, while the gap in the row of cups suggests that some emotions, though beautiful, are no longer sufficient to sustain further growth.
