Abstract
The Vesica Piscis is a classical geometrical figure formed by the intersection of two circles with equal radii, where the center of each circle, and creationlies on the circumference of the other. This symbol has been used throughout history in art, architecture, and spiritual iconography due to its aesthetic proportions and symbolic meanings. The shape represents the intersection of dualities—such as heaven and earth, spirit and matter, or male and female—and has been associated with sacred geometry since ancient times. This paper explores the mathematical properties of the Vesica Piscis, including its ratios and geometric constructions, as well as its cultural and symbolic significance across different historical contexts. The study highlights how the Vesica Piscis serves as both a foundational geometric form and a profound metaphor for unity, balance.
