Nature, all its breathtaking beauty, begins with Gaia. As the creator, she weaves existence through the four elements: water, earth, fire, and air. Each element is vital: water nurtures, earth offers stability, fire transforms, and air breathes life.

We created a project exploring the rich mythology of Gaia and her magnificent creations, focusing on four animals that embody the elements. Each animal serves as a messenger of Gaia, symbolizing the power of its element and reflecting her beauty. This project celebrates the interconnectedness of life and Gaia’s nurturing spirit, urging us to honor our responsibility as stewards of the Earth.
