This focused altar is arranged on a circular wooden pedestal, centered around a white classical statue of the winged messenger. To the left sits a bronze bell, while glowing yellow candles illuminate the back.

The foreground features a semi-circle of stones and coins, traditional offerings for the god of commerce and travel. A vibrant crocus flower, Hermes’ favourite adds a pop of life, and a postcard from Latham, NY rests at the base, a memento honoring Hermes’ role as the patron of travelers.

Designed, built, and installed in Montecito, CA.
