Ava

Inspired by Galatea, a statue carved of ivory coming to life, the statuette is shaped in the form of a female humanoid, with elements that strongly affirms its' futuristic presence.

Given the name of “Ava”, a variation of Eve, this statuette symbolizes the encapsulated image of an ideogram that has remained resilient throughout the years. Similar to that, we recognize that photographers are able to transcend time through their images, narrating the same tale for years to come.

The design of the statuette is aimed to invoke a sense of eternal permanence with its' pristine, ivory humanoid, along with its' golden or silver embellishments, communicating a sense of chronological transference that images bestow.

As a combination, all these elements signify symbols of excellence, creative vision, and imagery’s ability to elude time boundaries. Much like Pygmalion, whose excellence forged a vision of a forgotten era, we too hope that this statuette symbolizes photographers whose creative visions will lay down roots of this age for posterity.
