Rising references the Goddess Brigid, a triple goddess of healing symbolized by the element of water, fire and poetry. She embodies equality via healing inner balance for collective balance. The associations with water align with her diatom design, fire with the ceramic process and poetry the message she carries. Rising symbolizes transformation, sustainability and innovation resonating with Brigid. For millions of years, one-cell glass lace diatoms housing photosynthesizing phytoplankton in water form beautiful networks modeling mutual sustainability. Time we follow. Rising is suspended on glass with 360 transparency and a bow to a new way forward.
