A permanent installation at Faena Tulum, Portal del Éter Rojo is inspired by ancient Tattwa symbols, focusing on the element of ether (akasha), represented by a red egg. The egg symbolizes akasha—the cosmic essence of space and spirit—while the color red evokes fire, a dynamic force of creation and manifestation. Serving as a centerpiece for contemplation, the egg invites meditation, activating the subconscious and enhancing the connection with one’s creativity and higher self.

Resting on a circular platform with ascending steps, the installation evokes spiritual ascension. At the base of the egg, a marble inlay design integrates the four classical elements: fire as a triangle, air as a circle, water as a crescent moon, and earth as a square. Black marble symbolizes grounding and stability, while white onyx represents creativity, mental clarity, and spiritual vision.

The use of onyx reinforces the installation’s connection to imagination and inner growth, encouraging visitors to engage in a personal process of transformation. By stepping onto the platform and contemplating the central egg, participants become part of an immersive ritual of elevation, physically ascending while spiritually reflecting.

As with Zeta’s previous works, Portal del Éter Rojo is an experience rather than a passive observation. Blurring the lines between sculpture and architecture, it offers a portal where energy, matter, and spirit converge, inviting participants to explore transformation and envision future possibilities.
