Description
The piece features a balanced arrangement of geometric shapes, with a solid base supporting a dynamic stack of a cube, a prism, and a circle.
These shapes symbolize the spell, the magical words emerging from the book. The use of rhodium enamel gives the surface a reflective, metallic finish, enhancing the sculpture's modern aesthetic.
The juxtaposition of sharp edges and smooth curves evokes a sense of harmony and tension, representing the duality of knowledge and mystery often associated with grimoires.
