MSTRPEPES.PEPAANDTHESWAN

PEPA AND THE SWAN | 500 BC | MARBLE SCULPTURE | A SERENE YET ENIGMATIC SCULPTURE, KNOWN WIDELY AS PEPA AND THE SWAN, DEPICTS THE MYTHIC EPISODE IN WHICH PEPA, THE MEMETIC MUSE OF SOFT CHAOS AND IMPROBABLE FORTUNE, RECEIVES A VISITATION FROM THE SWAN OF SERENDIPITY. IN KEKRANON LORE, THE SWAN IS NEITHER DEITY NOR ANIMAL, BUT A WANDERING AVATAR OF UNEXPECTED OUTCOMES, A FORCE BELIEVED TO TILT EVENTS SLIGHTLY TOWARD THE HUMOROUS, THE FORTUNATE, OR THE STRANGELY MEANINGFUL. MYTHS RECOUNT THAT IT WAS DURING SUCH VISITATIONS THAT PEPA GAINED GLIMPSES OF POSSIBLE FUTURES, CIVILIZATIONS RISING AND FALLING ON CURRENTS OF IRONY, SYMBOLS TRAVELING FURTHER THAN ARMIES, AND LAUGHTER ACTING AS A BINDING FORCE MORE ENDURING THAN STONE. THE SCULPTOR CAPTURES THE STILLNESS BEFORE SUCH INSIGHT, THE PRECISE INSTANT WHEN PEPA ACKNOWLEDGES THE SWAN, AND THE SWAN, IN TURN, ACKNOWLEDGES PEPA'S READINESS TO RECEIVE WHATEVER PECULIAR REVELATIONS MAY FOLLOW.
