Esmeralda, Dodecahedron Pendant

A mesmering 3dprinted pendant from the Collection of Three-dimensional formations, "dodecahedron", emerging from transformations of the Platonic Solid Dodecahedron.

"In Plato’s dialogue with Timaeus, each one of the elements is linked to a certain Platonic solid: the element of earth would be a cube, of air an octahedron, of water an icosahedron, and of fire a tetrahedron.The fifth element (i.e. Platonic solid) was the dodecahedron, and was taken to represent the shape of the Universe as a whole. Quintessence, literally ’fifth essence’, refers to (A)ether, the fifth element, that fills the universe beyond the terrestrial sphere."

Material: Polymer Powder.
