LAURENCE LE CONSTANT

ANOUKIS
 

Anoukis is the guardian of invisible thresholds. Inspired by the ancient Egyptian goddess of water whose name she bears, she watches over the territories where the visible world meets unseen realities.

​

Protector of Sophia and companion to Themis, she is one of the founding figures of Laurence Le Constant's universe. Endowed with the ability to read hearts and speak the language of birds, she guides those who embark upon a journey of inner knowledge. Her role is not to open the gates, but to recognize those who are ready to cross them.

​

Her claws, carved from Shiva eye shells, symbolize a vision that reaches beyond ordinary sight. The feathers covering her body evoke the diversity of the living world, while the she-wolf embodies intuition, protection and fidelity to the deeper laws of nature.

​

First presented in 2019, Anoukis has since joined a major private collection in the United States, where she continues her journey.​​
