The site specific Hestia Virtual (2022) is an online temple dedicated to the Greek goddess Hestia, built and available at Habbo Hotel. When visiting the temple, it is possible to interact with an avatar of Hestia, one of the oldest and most powerful deities on Olympus. Guardian of homes, domestic life, intimacy and hospitality, she is also the personification of the sacred fire, which symbolizes the center of life, and the smoke of the flames, which connects the three spheres of existence. Despite her worship in every home and homage in every prayer, Hestia had little representation in mythological narratives, having abdicated direct relationships with humans and occupied an immobile place in the "house temple".

​

In Hestia Virtual, a digital form of Hestia is available to receive visitors and offerings at her temple, based in a hotel room.
