Godimenta

From a rough block of material, the artist already sees the final work. Ginger and bergamot are cut with clean lines, giving off strong, lively energy. Around them, lemon and mint form smooth, flowing curves that feel cool and fresh. Raspberry and jasmine sit like small carvings in the resin veins of white fir. The metallic rose is a solid, shiny shape—almost sharp to the eye. Amber spreads into a soft, rounded base, smoothing out every rough edge. Finally, the woods— sandalwood, cedar, and guaiac— together with musk, give the sculpture a warm glow and a smooth, sensual finish that invites you to touch and enjoy it.

Circe waits, her gaze fixed upon the sea from the shadowed throne carved into the slopes of beloved Aea. Lemon trees awaken to the first summer light, shaking the air with leaves both bitter and ancient. Magic, for her, was never a choice but a gift. Raspberries and bergamot offer themselves in lavish bounty, tumbling into her golden amphora alongside the precious white-fir powder, brought as tribute by Aquitanian traders. Circe waits for the spell to ripen - she knows that every ingredient carries its own season and its own music. The rose, languid and full, slides with amber to the bottom, where fragrant woods and moss burn with voluptuous flame. She knows that sensuality wears many faces, and that the human heart, like the wind, is ever shifting. But every sorceress holds a secret. Mint - precious queen, cool mother - kindles its icy fire, drop by drop merging into a potion to which every man must yield. There, on her shaded throne, Circe spies the distant sails, drawn by her enchanted nectar. She waits. As any predator does, she makes patience her keenest weapon, while a single green tear, slow as dawn, glitters down her trembling cheek.
