The Eternal Bearer of Life

In autumn 2018 I created a sculpture representing the female creative principle. I combined the elements of water and fire, and the result was the eternal bearer of life, the goddess with many names, the Great Mother, who gives everything and takes everything away. 

I encoded her in the noblest white marble of the Balkans, the beautiful Macedonian Sivec. The goddess wears a fiery crown on her head – a flint sphere from which sparks have been shooting since ancient times.

A month after the creation, I attended the opening of the exhibition at Tolmin Museum entitled Ancient Gods Become Silent. I recognised the Isis of Posočje in my work. "Oh, if only they knew how alive she is," I thought.

The goddess was awaiting her time. She waited two thousand years and more, and then a few more years until the exhibition was ripe. For twenty years I connected heaven and earth in stone organisms like the umbilical cords of the world. I strengthened the connection between above and below in the individual and in the wider space. The Goddess incarnated as the fruit of many years of experience, from inner vibrations and not merely from imitation of immediate formal nature. She is empowered by the use of precious marble and crystals. Her contours dance in harmony with the surroundings, her fullness and volume brimming with vital energy. Sovereign and peaceful, the Goddess carries the whole world on her head.

I give her to humanity at a time when a new world order is emerging, and we are experiencing crises in all areas. I fervently hope that reason will prevail and that the free will of the individual will be preserved as the basis of social coexistence.

It is a question of life!
