Statue of Astraea

3D Model

Statue of Astraea is a game-ready 3D asset depicting Astraea, the minor Greek goddess of purity, justice, and truth.

The statue depicts Astraea at the moment she leaves humanity behind. She ascends a staircase, holding a burnt-out torch raised toward the sky and an aster flower offering from humans in her other hand. She holds it dejectedly, reflecting her dual guilt for leaving and disappointment towards humankind.

Despite having wings, she chooses to walk rather than fly, symbolizing how long she lived amongst humans and how normal living like them became to her. When she reaches the top of the stairs, she will be forced to take flight, marking the end of her time on Earth.
