Primordial Swim
Noah Savetts need for adventure sent him to the southern hemisphere at the ripe age of 29. It was a quest for self-discovery and artistic enlightenment that would forever change the course of his creative journey.
One humid afternoon, as he ventured deeper into the jungle, he stumbled upon a secluded lagoon hidden amidst the lush vegetation. Noah found himself surrounded by a symphony of nature's rhythms— chirping birds, the rustling foliage, and the distant roar of cascading waterfalls.
The water before him, shimmered like liquid jade beneath the dappled sunlight, inviting him to explore its depths. Without hesitation, Noah stripped off my clothes and plunged into the cool embrace of the lagoon.
As he swam, he felt a profound sense of liberation wash over him. Life seemed to melt away, replaced by a primal instinct to connect with the natural world around him. Noah moved through the water with a grace and fluidity he had never known, each stroke a testament to his new found freedom.
At that moment two water snakes emerged to the surface embraced like the caduceus in the throws of reproduction. Yes, it was violent, yet emotionally satisfying to watch.
Noah felt a profound sense of connection to something greater than himself. He understood, on a fundamental level, the primal urge that drove all living beings—the desire to seek pleasure, to experience ecstasy, to embrace life in all its raw and unfiltered glory.
Emerging from the lagoon, Noah Savett was filled with a sense of purpose unlike any he had ever known. Knowing that he must capture the essence of that transformative experience in his art, to immortalize the primal beauty he had witnessed in the depths of the jungle lagoon.
Back in studio, This became his inspiration for "Primordial Swim.” Channeling the spirit of the jungle beasts into every twist and turn of the metal. This sculpture became a homage to the two serpent encounter. A tangible expression of the primal urges that Noah experienced during that journey through the dense jungles of South America.
