"The Ladies of Time" These are the metal scrolls where past ages appear through the faces of maidens. These images are but echoes of history, fictional souls embodied in relief to capture the spirit of eras long gone. Thirty faces carved in metal, from the distant thirteenth century, when traditions held sway and the foundations of lands were laid, to the sunset of the twentieth, and even further — towards futuristic visions hidden beyond the iron horizon. We followed the paths of old records, yet sources often differ. Seek not absolute historical truth here, for every city and land mentioned is a personal vision. To clarify these dreams, digital sparks guided our creative hand. Cold aluminum has embraced the spirit, adorned with powders of bronze, copper, and brass. We tempered the metal with fire and milk, added colours and a transparent drop, closed it. Dimensions of the works are 10 by 13 cm. Created not by a famous hand, but by a time-traveler hidden behind a pseudonym. Let these silhouettes be your gateway to eternal beauty, where comeliness never fades and metal finds its voice.
