Sphere 2-16

Stone
This stone sphere emerges as an archetypal symbol of feminine energy—encompassing shelter, protection, and the quiet strength that sustains life.
Composed of basalt, chert, jasper, and other stones imbued with grounding energy, its form transcends its materials. The smooth, rounded contours resonate with the enduring power of the ancient earth, invoking the sacred role of stone in early human civilisation. These natural elements, long employed in the construction of shelters and places of refuge, embody resilience—a profound, unspoken testament to survival through millennia.
This sphere becomes more than an object; it is a meditation on the primal connections that bind us to the earth and to our ancestors. It holds within its form the paradoxical qualities of strength and nurture, permanence and transformation. A timeless creation, it reflects the enduring feminine force that weaves through nature, offering both grounding stability and the possibility of renewal.
