Moaï
24" x 40" in
(61 x 100 cm)
Size: 23.86" in x 35.83" in
Geographic Location: Easter Island, Oceania (circa 1300/1500 CE)
The Moai, famous statues of Easter Island, are monoliths carved mainly from volcanic tuff between the 13th and 15th centuries. The Moai, symbols of deified ancestors, are erected on ceremonial platforms called ahu, facing inward toward the island except for those at Ahu Akivi, which face the ocean.
These silent guardians of ancient times embody the duality of protection and spirituality. Carved from rock with infinite patience, these giants have watched over their sacred land for centuries, protecting not only the land that supports them but also the souls of those who live there.
In this artwork, the Moai become sentinels of the sacred, their gaze directed toward the infinite, bearing witness to an invisible yet powerful presence. They are the protectors of what is precious and intangible: culture, traditions, and the deep emotions of humanity.
