“His spouse is Uinen, the Lady of the Seas, whose hair lies spread through all waters under sky. All creatures she loves that live in the salt streams, and all weeds that grow there; to her mariners cry, for she can lay calm upon the waves, restraining the wildness of Ossë. The Númenóreans lived long in her protection, and held her in reverence equal to the Valar.”
‘Asinas
II’ is the successor of the original sculpture ‘Asinas’, showing the
same concept and overall appearance but a different shape for the white
“wing” parts.
The
various angles and curves of the individual parts create an
elaborated unity when joined together on the shaft. The two “wings”
formed by these seventy-seven parts are able to slide through each other
and rotate in opposite direction at a slightly different speed. This
results in a movement that appears to be far more complex, existing of
multiple layers, where repetitive shapes seem to be moving within
oneanother.
