Coupled mantas

Design Story

David requested this couple of mantas for himself and for his wife, to symbolize their union and their individuality through small differences, the main one being the presence of a lizard in his design (good luck, powers, communication) which is replaced by a cat in hers (flexibility, mistery).

The manta symbolizes freedom, protection and elegance, here with the tail made of a row of spear heads (strength, the warrior); the fish hook symbolizes prosperity, the sun is for positivity and eternity, energy. Inside the sun, inheriting its characteristics, there is a traditional symbol representing marriage, spouse and bride. The rays are made of mountains (stability) and shark teeth (adaptability).

Waves are for change and korus for the new life together, with a tiki hand for protection.

A stylized hammerhead shark motif near the tail represents determination and tenacity.

The two chasing birds represent David and his wife, and they symbolize they´ll always be there to help each other..
