Freestanding
Zome 10 Menhir
An ample helical structure (56 cm), elongated the better to join with the sky.
I had long dreamed of a zome whose scale would recall the menhirs. Its slightly more slender shape is born of a parameter dear to sacred geometry: Pi multiplied by the square root of 2, the very proportion found in the regulating lines of snow crystals. In its presence, a feeling of sacredness resounds: a church where light seeps in and reflects, diffractions that soothe the mind. Arranged around the number 10, the Pythagorean Tetraktys, it carries the meaning of totality and accomplishment, a link raised between earth and sky.
Freestanding or hanging
Freestanding. The zome accompanies the space. It settles gently into its surroundings, catches the light of the place and sublimates it when you linger. A discreet presence, revealed as the day goes by.
Hanging. The zome becomes a floating presence, a glass star that breathes in the daylight and returns it, sparkle after sparkle, to the space around it.
Glass is a fragile material. Given the complexity of some creations, slight imperfections may appear; they bear witness to the handmade work.
Clean gently with a microfiber cloth, without applying any product directly onto the piece (put it on the cloth instead). The pieces are not 100% watertight: do not immerse them, and do not leave them hanging outdoors for long periods.
Do not hang the geometries above people's heads in living spaces. Favor a spot close to a wall instead, or place them at head height.
