To see more than what's directly in front of us. The image itself is a symbolic representation that we should all keep in touch with our creative side, to look beyond the illustrations we see. It shows the seeming loss of creativity adults have as they were unable to guess anything other than a hat, while children (such as the Little Prince) can make so much more of the image. George Kacharava, the person who owns the tattoo, would say that the image means much more than this simple idea. Maybe instead we should try and find a deeper meaning to the objects we see, to try and find the most important invisible object the elephant inside the boa constrictor. When we look at the original illustration here, we only see what we are trained to see and nothing more. That concept is invisible and is much more important than the flower. The flower becomes more than a flower, but a friend. But the flower can take another form when you find responsibility for the flower and care for it. This young boy, also known as the Little Prince, teaches Exupéry that the things that are most important are invisible. He teaches him through his life story that adults will receive orders and follow them blindly, though they may have no purpose. In the story, Exupéry's plane comes down into the desert where he finds a young boy. They replied that the drawing looked like a cowboy hat, afterward suggesting that the illustrator should focus on drawing other things. To those who have never seen the image, what does it look like? In The Little Prince, Exupéry asked this very question to adults. The purpose of this image has been debated ever since the release of this text in 1943. Many literary adept people will see this image and instantly recognize the famous boa constrictor illustration from The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
