ATHENA, THE PROTECTOR GODDESS OF ATHENS, A WISE AND STRONG WARRIOR. ATHENA VALUED NATURE AND CONSIDERED IT INDISPENSABLE FOR SURVIVAL. ATHENA IS REPRESENTED AS A FLOWER THAT FROM A DELICATE NATURE WITH SOFT, F GILE PETALS T NSFORMS INTO A ROBUST AND SHARP FLOWER THAT SPANS ITS PETALS PROTECTING THE PEOPLE OF ATHENS. THE ROTATION OF THE FLOWER REPRESENTS ATHENA AS A FEARLESS AND STRONG WARRIOR.
THE PETALS OF THE COMPOSITION REPRESENT ATHENA’S ARMS EXPANDING TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE OF ATHENS.
THE STEM OF THE COMPOSITION REPRESENTS ATHENA’S BODY WHICH ALLOWS FOR THE ROTATION ELEMENT OF THE COMPOSITION.

A ACHMENT & IMPACT
THIS INSTALLATION WILL BE IN THE ROYAL BOTANICAL GARDEN NEAR THE TER CE CAF , DEPICTING ATHENA, THE WARRIOR AND ATHENS’S PROTECTOR.
THE INSTALLATION WILL BE COMPOSED OF DIFFERENT SIZE FLOWER SHAPE ELEMENTS, REPRESENTING ATHENA AS THE BIGGER FLOWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INSTALLATION PROTECTING ALL THE PEOPLE OF ATHENS BEEN THE SMALLER FLOWERS.
THE SHAPE OF THE COMPOSITION WAS TO CREATE A PROTECTIVE BARRIER FOR ITS VISITORS FROM THE WATER ELEMENT, REINFORCING ATHENA AS A WARRIOR AND PROTECTOR.
THE FLOWER SHAPE COMPOSITION WILL ROTATE BY A MOTOR HIDDEN AWAY INSIDE THE BASE, AND THE CONTROLLER OF ITS BASE CAN ADJUST THE ROTATION SPEED.
A ACHMENT:
THE BASE OF THE INSTALLATION HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO BE THE ELEMENT THAT WILL A ACH IT TO THE GROUND BY PLACING A PEG INTO THE PLATE IN THE BASE.
