Yaxche - The Mayan World Tree

To the Maya, the Ceiba Tree - Yaxche - is the first tree of existence, the axis mundi uniting the underworld, the earth and the sky. Through it, all realms remain bound in breath and balance.

From the luminous waters of creation, a crocodile rises, its arms outstretched as the sacred tree begins to grow. Crowned with a canopy of leafage, its branches extend in all four directions. During its ascent, the Ceiba Tree gave birth to life on earth and set the stars and heavenly bodies in motion.

The Maya believe in a sacred connection between humankind and the Ceiba Tree. Like a mother, the bearer of children, life itself can only perpetuate as long as the Ceiba Tree is alive.

Rhino Platter

Sometimes the wilderness finds its way onto unexpected surfaces. Rhino Platter began as an experiment, with porcelain paint - and became a miniature world of its own.

A rhino wanders through painted ferns while bright birds play among the leaves, turning the porcelain into a living scene of movement and curiosity. The wilderness here is gentle yet untamed - a quiet reminder that nature’s spirit can live even in the stillness of a plate.

Longing for Spring

A woman stands beneath the early branches of a tree where the first blossoms have begun to unfold. Before her, a green plain stretches toward distant mountains, scattered with flowers just beginning to bloom. Her dress, adorned with bright petals, seems to echo awakening earth.

She gazes into the distance, poised between stillness and renewal - as if listening for the quiet breath of spring. The air is fresh, filled with color and expectancy. In this moment, the world holds its promise, and time stands gently on the edge of becoming.

Under the Sun-like Moon

Three trees reach upward beneath a moon that glows like the sun - a red, radiant sphere that blurs the boundary between day and night. Its light spreads gently across the landscape, touching the branches and the secret illumination that shimmers beneath them.

Among the trees, small red birds rest and flicker like living embers, guardians of this twilight world. The air seems suspended between warmth and shadow, as if the earth were breathing from within.

Under the Sun-like Moon captures the quiet mystery of transformation - the moment when opposites merge, and the world, for an instant, stands in perfect, glowing balance.
