GAIARA AND RAIARA TOTEMS

Inspired by animal forms, these pieces emerge as an exploration of the primordial devotion to nature and the sun. With a rudimentary and irregular appearance, they convey a certain sense of ancestry. With branch-shaped cutouts on the belly, the Totem of Gaiara appears as a symbol of nature and fertility. Meanwhile, the Totem of Raiara, with a circular cutout on the chest, serves as a depiction of the sun and energy.

These pieces explore the symbiotic relationship between these two fundamental elements of life, evoking a sense of primitivism and connection with ancestral practices of worship.
