Story
Manes were ghosts and guardians of burial sites and monuments. They were considered good spirits and were referred to as Di Manes, or divine dead. Each year, during the feast of Parentalia, gravesites were visited and offerings were made to honor the dead. Roman tombstones were often inscribed with the letters DM (Di Manes) to officiate the spirits. This luminous image exemplifies energy born from the seeds of creative thinking. The three spirits balance their decorative disks, the different designs representing individual contribution to a team effort.
