It is an original work by sculptor José Luis Pascual exclusively carved for the Arete awards of the Escola. The materials the artist used were iron for the sculpture and wood for the pedestal. The surface finishing of the iron is obtained with an oxydating treatment induced through acid.

The iron slab is laser cut following the artist’s drawing. Once the slab has been cut, the sculpture is carved by hand to give shape to each element. Some call this technique “ferroflexia” (iron-bending in Catalan). The work represents in its upper part the sun rising from the sea, formed by stars that symbolise the countries of the Escola’s alumni/participants. In the centre appears Isis, the goddess of wisdom, who lights our way forward. The sea breeze caresses her face, symbolising beauty, and strokes her hair, symbolising strength and determination. On her side the Mediterranean, the cradle of the revolution of knowledge, which is the driving force of change towards new sustainable logistics, where the stars reflect over the waves.
