The melon is divided into four parts according to the seasons of the year. Spring - birth (bottom left, further clockwise), Summer - expectation, Autumn - maturity and finally Winter, when living patterns on the body of a melon turn into simple figures. The founder of Suprematism, Kazimir Malevich, who declared the rejection of the shells of objects in favor of the simplest forms - squares, circles and triangles on a white background - the foundations of the universe, prototypes of everything in the real world. So, in the WINTER phase, living and moving patterns on the body of the melon freeze into symbols - the seeds ready to give new life and a new cycle
