ADRIANA – MEDITERRANEAN MONK SEAL
Symbol of the sea, protection of nature ...Small statuette (on a stone base – 7,5 cm x 15 cm x 5 cm, ceramics, unique glaze)The Mediterranean monk seal (lat. Monachus monachus) is a monk seal belonging to the family Phocidae. It symbolizes the sea and the protection of nature. Kogoj designed the Adriana sculpture as a mascot for the 1979 Mediterranean Games in Split. The entrance hall of the swimming pools in Split was enriched with a monolithic sculpture of Adriana, the Mediterranean monk seal, on that occasion. The idea was presented by the famous Jacques-Yves Cousteau with the wish that society would protect this animal species, which was on the brink of extinction in the late seventies in the Mediterranean Sea. The Adriana sculpture was also presented at the 1979 World Congress on Industrial Design in Mexico.

THE ENERGY OF GOLDEN REFLECTION
The meaning of gold colour
The colour gold symbolises abundance, wealth, prestige, prosperity and luxury. It is the colour of success, achievements, triumph and optimism. It is associated with quality, prestige, sophistication and elegance. Gold attracts the eye and represents inspiration and the activation of spiritual energy. It can improve mental and physical health, while also lighting the way to future goals and bringing success, since it is associated with the energy of the sun and, in turn, with life energy, strength and self-confidence. It helps to achieve spiritual enlightenment and to gain knowledge and a deeper understanding of one’s own self and soul. It celebrates successes and motivates people to reach their potential. Gold is optimistic and positive, and adds richness and warmth to everything it is associated with, thus illuminating and enhancing other things around it as well. The colour gold increases passion and charisma, as well as compassion and understanding.
Gold is a sacred colour in both religious and magical contexts. It represents divine qualities, which is why many of the objects used in sacred rituals are made of gold or gold-coloured. It is associated with pre-eminence, has a frequency of higher protection, and signifies total integration and spiritual service.Why plate items in gold? Because humans also have a little gold in their bodies. What connects the individual human to their soul in the physical sense is gold. This connection is ‘golden’. Unless one ‘gilds’ oneself spiritually, one cannot come closer to God, to knowing oneself, to a deeper realisation that one is a spiritual being. A spiritual being can only develop in a physical body.
