Sheset, The Ruler of Libraries, 2025. Mixed media, 23” x 12” x 9”. $300
This piece honors Seshat, the ancient Egyptian goddess of libraries, writing, and knowledge—here imagined flying and surrounded by books. In an era marked by rising book bans and increasing censorship of libraries and museums, Seshat is invoked as a powerful symbol of free speech, education, and the preservation of truth. Against the backdrop of contemporary attacks on information and learning, she stands as a guardian of factual record-keeping and intellectual freedom. This work celebrates the essential role of libraries and champions the enduring power of knowledge, reminding us of our collective responsibility to defend access to ideas and the written word.
