Gold

as a precious metal was associated with the sun,
which is due on one hand to its brilliance and on the other hand
to the connection between the glow of the sun and the melting process.
The gilding of the artwork is based on a tradition already used in the early dinastic Egyptian period.

 

Waves

are a metaphor for all that is in motion.
They carry and transfer energy and resonate throughout the universe and so everything is connected to everything.

 

In Egypt, the hieroglyph "Gold" was represented by a beaded collar and since the early dynastic period around 3000 BC was the most frequently
worn piece of jewelry by the pharaohs and their contemporaries, both men and women.
