Description of the artwork «World Mountain»
The mountain ridge reproduces the cosmological image of the World Mountain with eight peaks - the oldest model of the world among the ancestors of the Ossetians and other Indo-European peoples. At the top level - one peak (divine absolute, supreme power), at the middle level - three peaks (world of people, three social functions of Indo-Europeans), at the bottom level - four peaks (sides of the world, geographical limits of the country). The meaning of silver is purity, wisdom, joy.
