Jakob Rowlinson's work is an oddity, a queerness. His obsessive relationship to knowledge in anatomy, astrology and medieval art made him a catalyst for influences. His work is a subversion of visual languages, contemporary and historical, natural and cultural, religious and LGBTQIA+. He takes these languages, folds them, assembles them, reconfigures them. He forms writings ranging from medieval marginalia to Instagram memes and assembles what is a priori dissonant until it becomes an obvious unity, an organic body.

With Neptune at its maximum influence because positioned in Pisces, Leo is going through a period of great questioning in 2022, which Jakob Rowlinson illustrates through his personal iconography. The psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung saw Neptune as the planet of the unconscious and it appears to exert its influence on the surreal rendering of Jakob's proposal.
