Title: Navel of Earth (Gaea)

Materials: Stainless Steel

In myths dating to the classical period of Ancient Greece, the site of Delphi was believed to be determined by Zeus when he sought to find the centre of his Grandmother Earth (Gaea). He sent two eagles flying from the easter and western extremities and the path of the eagles crossed over Delphi where the omphalos, or navel of Gaea was found.

The omphalos is the center of gravity. Delphi used to be a cultural and political centre of Ancient Greece. These eagles, forming a compass, balance in one point, moments before they meet each other over Delphi.
