Plato told the story of Atlantis around 360 B.C. The founders of Atlantis, he said, were half god and half human.
They created a utopian civilization and became a great naval power. Their home was made up of concentric islands separated by wide moats and linked by a canal that penetrated to the center.
The lush islands contained gold, silver, and other precious metals and supported an abundance of rare, exotic wildlife. There was a great capital city on the central island.
Waves, clouds, and stones intertwine in a design inspired by Portuguese majolica. Ships float through optical illusions in a sea that becomes sky.
A solemn figure, perhaps a goddess, emerges among the seaweed. A symbol of a lost myth, embodying the eternal mystery of Atlantis, between legend, philosophy, and dream.
