Item Name:

THE SILENT PLANET™ — Reflective Core of Mercury

Design Essence:

A sculptural homage to Mercury's primordial silence and molten introspection. This cosmic artifact represents the core of Mercury — a planet closest to the Sun, yet forever shrouded in cool metallic stillness.

Forged from a blend of oxidized silverstone and deep-space alloy, the hand-polished orb sits atop a textured cylindrical base, balanced in perfect stillness. It absorbs light but does not return it. A relic of restraint and internal gravity.

This piece is not decorative — it is philosophical.

Symbolism & Interpretation:

• The sphere represents Mercury’s dense, iron-rich core.
• Its dark, marbled surface evokes planetary wear, as if struck by thought and time.
