Created for "12 Trees" exhibit, curated by Dee Dee Eustace
Hand-sculpted wire mesh, resin, and paint form the figure of the Aquarian Water Bearer, eternally giving life, knowledge, and spiritual food to the world. Crystalline ‘water’ pouring from the vessel forms a sleek, sparkling Christmas tree, symbolically washing away the past. The Aquarian Water Bearer reaffirms our infinite creative potential and power as human beings. It is symbolic of the notion that we are more than just flesh and bones, and that our thoughts, words, and actions can have profound effects well beyond our immediate realm of influence. Aquarian values encourage us to awaken to our full potential, and to acknowledge that we are creating the world around us with every thought and action. -Sophia D
