In the ancient Mesopotamian world, Ishtar was the goddess of love, beauty, war, and power—feared and revered, radiant and fierce. Long before Venus emerged from the sea in Western mythology, Ishtar rose from the arid breath of the desert, crowned by stars and shaped by sand.
In this collection, Ishtar is not merely a predecessor to Venus; she is a timeless force of beauty that emerges from the earth itself. Here, beauty is not a matter of surface or form, but of the spirit that shapes the world around it.
Ishtar is reflected in the sculpted figures of women from diverse backgrounds, yet her true essence is the inner beauty they carry. The desert itself becomes a canvas for this idea: the wind-sculpted stones, the spirals of shell and rock, all whisper of a beauty that transcends physical appearance.
Sometimes she appears as a serene sculpture, poised and powerful; other times she is absent, leaving only the echoes of her form in the land itself. The desert and Ishtar are inseparable—each dune, each spiral is a trace of her presence, a mirror of her soul.
In the end, this collection is a tribute to the beauty within. Ishtar’s Mirage invites us to see that true beauty is a reflection of the soul — a presence felt more deeply than it is seen.
