Athena's Partenon interpretation

Description

The idea for this project was to take a classic building and interpretate it the the we felt. I chose the Athena's Partenon for the great importance of the Goddess herself and all of the legends that involved her in greek mythology. I chose to make an owl (not only because I love owls) but also for the fact that Athena's image on Earth was a little baby owl who according to most the owl was a companion to the Goddess. In other mythologies such as the Basque mythology, owls are a representation of death, that is why I want to make it look like a coffing reaching to the sky, as the conecction of the human being with the Goddess. I chose to put the shield of Perseus (who killed Medusa with the guidedance of Athena) as a memory of how importat every culture and legend is for a group of people and how it should also be part of every Architectural piece. 

Made with wood, clay and glass. 

Sorry for the bad quality of the photos, I took them with my phone the day this was on display and right before a person dropped it by accident and destroyed it.
