The guardian of the desert

Weighing 0.55 kg, this hummingbird measures 22 cm high, 13 cm wide, and 14 cm deep. It embodies the purity and strength of arid landscapes, masterfully crafted from a combination of stones.

Body: Carved from translucent white quartz, reflecting clarity, spirituality, and the energy of the essential.

Wings and tail: Sculpted in fluorite, with violet and mottled hues that evoke the starry night over the desert.

Beak: Elongated and polished, a symbol of precision and delicacy.

Base: An impressive desert rose, a natural mineral formation that evokes the strength of crystallized sand, accompanied by a support in harzburgite, a deep rock of dark tones that brings balance and solidity to the composition.

The Brazilian sculptor was inspired by the resilience of the hummingbird as a tireless traveler, capable of surviving in challenging environments, just like the desert rose that blooms in aridity.

The white quartz body symbolizes purity and vital essence, while the fluorite wings represent the changing light and color on the desert horizon. The desert rose at its base connects the bird to the arid land, reminding us that even from the harshest environments, unexpected forms of beauty can emerge.

The work embodies the idea that apparent fragility hides an ancestral strength, uniting sky, earth and mineral in a single poetic figure.
