Tamata are small metal plaques, often featuring embossed images representing specific body parts such as eyes, hearts, or legs. In the Greek Orthodox tradition, these plaques serve as devotional offerings, symbolizing prayers for healing or divine intervention related to the depicted body part. They are a deeply rooted aspect of religious faith, expressing gratitude or seeking blessings.

However, in the western world where basic needs are increasingly met, desires extend beyond health and well-being. The culture of overconsumption has shifted the focus of aspirations, placing extravagant luxury goods on a pedestal, often equating material wealth with fulfillment.
