The Thirteen
Before the world had word, it had her
Onceling Series
In the beginning there was no one story. There were thirteen. One for each cycle of the moon. One for each layer of the world. One for each face of the divine feminine that humanity has looked up to, feared, loved, and forgotten — then remembered again.
The Thirteen is a collector sculpture series celebrating the mythic female archetypes that have shaped every culture on earth. Thirteen goddesses. Thirteen cosmologies. One visual language: the kawaii bust — porcelain white, obsidian eyes, infinite detail — that renders each deity as both ancient and achingly present.
Why thirteen? Because thirteen is the number the modern world forgot on purpose. There are thirteen full moons in a solar year, not twelve. Thirteen layers compose the full architecture of existence in traditions spanning Mesoamerica, Norse myth, and Buddhist cosmology. Thirteen was the sacred feminine's own number — and the one that patriarchal calendar reform quietly erased. To name this series The Thirteen is to reclaim it.
Each bust shares a common soul: the same elfin ears, the same vast portal eyes, the same matte white resin that makes each goddess feel carved from moonstone. But within that shared language, each one is entirely herself. Together they form a pantheon without borders — a reminder that across every ocean and every era, humanity has always known that divinity wears a woman's face.
She never stays long. Goddesses rarely do.
