This one photo of marble votive eyes stared at me for too long. So here's my offering to the father of physicians. A prayer for their eyes to open, for their sight to heal. I don't know what else to do, how to make people see and care. So many deaths, pain and atrocities around, and no one cares. They choose to ignore. Some even genuinely believe there's nothing wrong. Almost two years of this goddamn war. Help us, Asklepios, son of long-shooting Apollo, you're our only hope.

An Offering (working title - 'the author is Russian and is about to lose it completely')

Votive Horses and Riders (three), 1966

Bhil tribe, India (Poshina, Sabarkantha district, Gujarat)

Terracotta

Philadelphia Museum of Art display

“Images of horses, usually with riders, are offered to local agricultural deities across India to protect villages and fields, as they have been for millennia. Large clay examples like those on view here are often placed in sacred groves of trees, especially by tribal (Indigenous) communities who have a special relationship with the forest and nature. Hundreds of such horses can collect in a grove, each eventually dissolving back into the earth from which it was made.”
