In Stella Terrestris, I explore the relationship between the celestial and the earthly through objects rich in historical symbolism. A Spanish processional star rests alongside an 18th-century Manises lustreware dish, reflecting Valencia’s extraordinary Hispano-Moresque ceramic tradition. At its centre, a solitary egg evokes the ancient ovum mundi, or cosmic egg, symbolising the origins of life. Together, these objects become a contemplation of creation, faith and the enduring connection between the earthly and the divine.
