Muir is the Old Irish word for sea. That it shares its meaning with Itsaso — the Basque word in this same series — is not coincidence. It is memory. The Basque people of the western Pyrenees and the ancient Irish of the Atlantic coast shared more than a shoreline. Genetic studies have traced a deep Iberian ancestry running through the Irish genome, carried north along the Atlantic façade during the Bronze Age, perhaps earlier. Two languages that share no grammar, no vocabulary, no common root — and yet both looked at the same ocean and arrived at something that sounds like the sea itself. Muir. Itsaso. The water remembered differently, but remembered. Standing 60 inches tall, Muir is built from the same materials and methods as its companion: Corten steel darkened to a deep maritime patina, every cut and weld executed by laser, the tips blown hot in the furnace by hand. Polycarbonate bubbles, each one hand painted, each housing 108 full RGBW LEDs on 24 volt DC — the full spectrum of light that moves through deep water, from cold abyssal blue to the warm phosphorescence of a breaking wave at night. Muir is the smaller of the two sea sculptures. The ocean makes things in all sizes. What matters is that it glows.
