Origins and Inspiration 

A Journey Through History and Spirit. The sculpture of the "Miu" represents

much more than simple figures; it is a profound reflection on the roots of

Egyptian spirituality, art and culture. The project was born from the desire to

connect with ancient wisdom, rediscovering and reinterpreting the myth of

the sacred cat, so present in the tradition of ancient Egypt. Each "Miu" is part

of a sacred dynasty, bearer of a spiritual and symbolic legacy that has its roots

in myth and legend.

The name "Miu" originates from an ancient Egyptian legend narrated in the

"Book of the Dead". According to this legend, the one who defeated evil

emerged from a pool of water in the form of a cat and, uttering the sound

"Miu," became known as such. This sound, which recalls the meow of cats, was

associated with sacred power and divine protection. The cat in ancient Egypt

was not just a domestic animal, but a symbol of divine power, representative

of the goddess Bastet, protector of the hearth and family, and a defender

against evil forces. Each "Miu" sculpture was created with the intention of

embodying a fragment of this ancient spirituality, representing figures that

are both divine and earthly, mystical and tangible.

The Miu Dynasty

The "Miu" dynasty is made up of figures who, despite being linked by a family

and spiritual bond, each possess a unique and fundamental role. These figures

embody different aspects of protection, wisdom and justice, expressions of

universal values that transcend time and space.

1. **Bastet (Matriarch and Mother Goddess)**

Bastet is the origin of everything, the mother of all "Miu". Like the Egyptian goddess from whom she takes her name, Bastet is the protector of the home, fertility and hearth. She is the nurturing and creative force of the dynasty, the one who gives life and protects her family with divine love and power.

2. **Ankh-Miu (Prince and Heir to the Throne)** - Ankh-Miu is the first born of Bastet, destined to inherit the leadership of the dynasty. His name, which means "life", symbolizes his role as continuer of the dynastic line, the one who guarantees the immortality of the family and guards its most sacredsecrets. Ankh-Miu represents hope and eternal life.

3. **Sekhmet-Miu (The Warrior)** - Sekhmet-Miu is the daughter of Bastet who embodies strength and courage. Like the goddess Sekhmet, she is an invincible warrior, fierce protector of the dynasty against all threats. His mission is to defend the family, ensuring that peace and order reign among all "Miu".

She is the universal mother, who watches over everyone with endless affection.

5 **Maat-Miu (The Judge)** - Maat-Miu is the guardian of order and justice. Incarnation of the goddess Maat, she represents cosmic balance and truth. His presence in the dynasty ensures that every decision made is right and in accordance with the ancient principles of balance and morality. Maat-Miu is the arbiter of truth, whose judgment is final.
