Hatshepsut’s Temple

54x33x70 cm.

Installation Terra-Aurum consists of three parts: pedestal, gilded column and the ramp. Pedestal is an allusion to Egyptian princess Hatchepsut’s temple. The golden column represents a symbol of something very precious and important. The ramp emphasizes the distance to the goal. With this gilded piece I introduce the essence of gold into entire concept of Terra-Aurum.
