An ethereal figure with ocean-toned wings, four graceful arms, and a gaze that seems to see through centuries—Prometheus by Moksha Mobias arrives not as a chained Titan of old, but as a spiritual guide bearing gifts for the future. Presented in the 2nd Annual Toys and Joys 2025 international smart exhibition, this painted resin sculpture offers a luminous reimagining of one of mythology’s boldest archetypes. But here, fire is not stolen—it is sanctified. Not punishment, but peace.

The seated figure—cross-legged in a lotus position—radiates with an otherworldly calm. Its shimmering silver-white skin, elongated limbs, and tranquil, pale-blue eyes suggest both human vulnerability and divine presence. Instead of a toga or armor, Prometheus wears striped pajamas in indigo and teal, scattered with polka dots and celestial whimsy. These garments—childlike yet cosmic—speak directly to the heart of Toys and Joys. They hint at the joy of dreaming, the sacred silliness of imagination, and the power of visual play to unlock ancient truths.

But the most captivating features are the four hands, each one intentional and expressive. The two lower arms rest in soft mudras across the chest and lap—gestures of inner stillness and offering. The upper arms are raised, palms facing forward, and in them burn the heart of the myth: radiant white, red, and yellow emblems resembling flames or sacred flowers. These symbols glow with layered meaning—echoes of the fire Prometheus gave to humanity. But rather than raw defiance, this fire is purified—a beacon of wisdom, awakening, and hope.

Behind the figure, a fan of sculpted wings arcs outward in carefully painted gradations—deep blue, sea green, olive, and brushed gold. Not a rainbow, but a spectral harmony, their tones suggest wind, water, and spirit. They are wings of evolution, not escape—elevating Prometheus beyond suffering into a being of transcendence and mythic joy.

So why Prometheus in Toys and Joys? Because this sculpture captures the childlike wonder that lives inside every myth. It reminds us that play is how we first encounter power. That storytelling is our first philosophy. That curiosity—the very flame Prometheus gave us—is where both toys and truths are born. Here, Mobias transforms the fire-bringer into a joy-bringer, placing sacred myth in a format we can approach not with fear, but fascination.

Moksha Mobias calls this visionary language “Ancient Futurism”—and in Prometheus, we see it fully realized. Drawing on decades of global travel and cultural study, Mobias distills symbols from many traditions into archetypes that feel both newly imagined and deeply remembered.
