Amphora

Amphora draws inspiration from ancient Greek amphoras, vessels that were used for transporting and storing wine and water. Among them were a few gold Amphoras (gold as a symbol of kingship and connection between humans and gods), offered as gifts to deities in order to ask for favours or to show admiration. In today’s world of excess, my “pretend-to-be-gold” Amphoras serve as offerings to the contemporary Pantheon.

Made from inox, steel, aluminium and copper.
