Ancestral Witnesses transforms a discarded plate into a vessel of memory and spiritual presence. Worked with clay and acrylic paint, its textured surface reveals two figures emerging from layers of color and matter. The cross, expressive faces, and contrasting blue and pink tones suggest faith, ancestry, protection, and an intimate dialogue between generations.
By rescuing and transforming an everyday object, ArNoUx gives new life and meaning to what was once forgotten. The circular form evokes continuity, eternity, and the unbroken passage of memory from one generation to the next.

Circle of Ancestral Protection
Artist: ArNoUx
Dimensions: 12 × 12 in
Medium: Cement, plaster, and acrylic paint
Format: Sculptural plate / Companion piece
Circle of Ancestral Protection is a sculptural plate created entirely from cement and plaster, then painted by hand with acrylics. Within its circular form, two expressive figures emerge from layers of color and heavily worked texture, suggesting an intimate bond between generations—a protective presence sheltering a smaller, more vulnerable soul.
The weathered pink border functions as both a physical frame and a symbolic boundary. Its cracks, irregularities, and raw surface preserve the handmade nature of the work, evoking an ancient object shaped by memory, faith, and time. The circular composition suggests continuity, spiritual protection, and the eternal passage of love from one generation to the next.
Created as a companion to the principal artwork, this piece expands its emotional and spiritual narrative while maintaining its own sculptural identity.
