Inspired by the Greek and roman mythological god of blacksmiths, metalworking and craftsmen; Hephaestus aka Vulcan, the ideal representation of the god of construction is assembled on six major symbols of power. As volcanoes played a main role as ancient forges in Greek myths and indirectly symbolize the birthplace of crafts and other constructions, the origins of this invented god of construction is connected with active volcanoes. For that reason, the volcano is considered as one of their primary insignias. Based on the myth of Titan Prometheus granting the gift of fire to the mankind which represents the commencement of the human evolution and also the strong relation fire has with volcanoes and ancient forges, the element of fire plays a major role in figurative depiction of this model deity. The six key elements that are crucial in construction field; fire, earth, metal, wood, tools and human labour, are dedicated and revolves around this archetypal god of construction. To signify these six fundamentals hexagon shaped structures are created, each side demonstrating one elemental symbol.
The inspirations for the structure:
For the outward
structure. Few layers of hexagons shaped frames of different sizes will shape the desired silhouette of a volcano. Inspirations for the blazing fire in the core of the structure.
For exterior decoration on the main frame.
For the dais.
