SOUL MOON
Soul Moon is the representation of the Moon in its deepest essence: the mirror of the Cosmic Soul, guardian of the mysteries of the Universe, archetype of the Sacred Feminine and threshold between the earthly world and the invisible realms, between matter and spirit.
The undisputed Queen of the Night, with her magical aura and ancestral power, the Moon has fascinated peoples and cultures throughout the world since antiquity, giving rise to myths and legends that have endured through time. As the symbol of the Mother Goddess, she evokes all that is in perpetual transformation; in her eternal cycle she inspires dreams and governs the tides, the seasons, and the rhythms of nature and life.
Beneath her gaze, illuminating the darkness, unfold the mysterious realms of dreams, intuition, the unconscious and magic.
Within esoteric thought, the Moon represents the soul’s journey towards its own deepest essence. Her light, reflected yet eternal, has always illuminated and guided the path of poets and mystics, philosophers and dreamers.
Soul Moon faithfully reproduces the lunar surface in every detail. Craters, valleys and ridges emerge from the bronze like a cosmic landscape sculpted by time, narrating the age-old history of the Moon and the Universe.
The fractures in the bronze are not merely openings, but symbolic thresholds. Through them, the eye is drawn towards the heart of the sculpture: a natural Rock Crystal, the soul of Soul Moon, emblem of its primordial essence.
This precious monolith of light, guardian of the mysteries of the Universe, holds within it the ancestral memory of the Queen of the Night, her vital principle and silent presence.
Born in the depths of the Earth and shaped over millions of years, the Rock Crystal becomes the symbol of the Cosmic Soul, of higher awareness and of the perpetual transformation of being.
The sculpture’s slow rotation echoes the Moon’s eternal motion, evoking the flowing of time, the succession of cycles and the everlasting becoming of existence: the silent breath of the Universe.
Technical Information — Rock Crystal
Mineralogical name: Rock Crystal, also known as Clear Quartz
Mineral family: Quartz
Chemical composition: Silicon Dioxide, SiO₂
Crystal system: Trigonal
Hardness: 7 on the Mohs scale
Lustre: Vitreous
Transparency: Transparent to translucent
Colour: Colourless and transparent, occasionally displaying delicate natural veils or mineral inclusions
Geological origin: Rock Crystal forms through the slow crystallisation of silica-rich solutions within cavities and fractures in the Earth’s crust. Its growth, unfolding over immense geological timescales, gives rise to crystals of extraordinary transparency and remarkable geometric perfection.
Origin: Brazil
