The Mantle Sculpture

From the series “Reminiscence or Nostalgia?” the sculpture titled, “The Mantle”, intends to evoke the element of Nature - Water - and its relationship with sacred rites. The relationship between water and human life is thus present from the mother's womb, and in all phases of humanity. In most ancient cultures such as Greece, Persia, Babylon, Japan, Tibet or India, this element always had a more philosophical (and even religious) aspect than the others, and although the explanations varied, generally their attributes, were mythologically personified by female deities linked to the symbology of birth, rebirth, purification, as well as protection and death rituals. There are indications of Water as an instrument of worship in Western Europe, in the Bronze Age (3000 BC), going back to the Neolithic period (8000 BC). Currently in Christianity, immersion in water symbolizes baptism, rebirth and liberation from sin, with holy water being the Christian's protection against evil spirits. In Hinduism, the waters are also sacred: the Ganges is paradise, for those who bathe in it or who have their ashes spread on the surface of the river and in the funeral rites of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism and Islam, water is always present.
