A truly exquisite handmade reproduction of the Greek status Hermes by Praxiteles.
*This is an original work that simply cannot be ‘reproduced again! What makes it so ‘unique’ is the deployment of the giant coral wings.
*We use a real giant sea coral whose perfect symmetry remains breath-taking. It generates a unique impression of ‘balance’ and ‘harmony’ as well as the ‘gentleness’ of beauty.
************
This unique handmade production covers Hermes but also his immortal wings in a truly captivating fashion!
Hermes remains a god in Greek mythology but yet subjected to the power and service of Nature!
His physical powers exemplify the capacity to bring ‘forward’ that which remains disguised and ambiguous but also just hidden from view.
This marble cast is a statement of recognizing the power of the human spirit to move beyond the material and physical world. The human individual realizes her/his full potential at the point of becoming a ‘bridge’ of connections to ‘others’. Service is the foremost form of love for ‘others’.
His flying motive represents not only the importance of speed but also the need to move ‘upwards’ and towards the heavenly and the spiritual.
The sea coral is found from the depths of the sea but is being transformed through Hermes to new ‘heights’.
