Hephaestus, God of Blacksmiths, lame and slovenly divine artist, forges beauty by working precious metals in the depths of a Volcano. Down there, shiny gems are hidden in the ravines and the fire blazes amidst the rocks.

The raw material, wounded, transforms into flawless jewels. Shadows and transparencies are tempered by the flame in the metal and everything in the forge mutates.
The Forge God, deemed so imperfect that he was rejected by his mother Hera, was reborn in his golden laboratory deep within the abyss. His craftsmanship is extraordinary and Aphrodite, the most beautiful among all goddesses, becomes his wife and later, the clandestine lover of the mighty Ares. When Hephaestus uncovers the adultery, he finely forges a filigreed golden net to ensnare his wife and imprison the bodies of the two lovers as marble sculptures.
Deformity and beauty, power and magic, the strength of the forge and the embroidery of gold. The inspirational realities of Hephaestus also speak of these fragrant gems guided toward sublime beauty and enfolded by DANHERA within this magnificent golden net to make them, however, forever free.
