About the Item
A collaborative project, artist Javid Jah and fabricator Alex Akbari of Qube Inc. re-designed this series from a recent public art exhibition in downtown Toronto, which was exhibited in collaboration with Roger Mooking and Wyandot artist Catherine Tammaro.
The dynamic geometric form of the three pieces—Terra, Aqua and Aero (the elements of earth, water and air) is inspired by the ideas of cosmology (the study of the universe) and sacred ancestral principles. Forged from steel, light shines through the intricately detailed pattern of perforations on the surface. Each individual sculpture can also be used as a wood burning or gas fire pit or modified to include LED lights for nighttime display.
All three pieces; Aero, Terra, and Aqua can be purchased as a set for $75,000.
“These crystalline sculptures follow the order of the Platonic solids (an ancient geometric term for a 3-D form that has ‘faces’ identical in shape and size) creating a balanced, ordered presence, designed with a fire tray and a tongue to sustain wood fires. “ Javid Jah
