Esprit de famille

MIZ's "Esprit de famille" is a work of art that transcends physical limitations to explore the psychological and emotional aspects of human existence. Through a visually striking and symbolically dense representation, this sculpture captivates the eye and provokes deep reflection on the duality of human nature and the perpetual quest for innocence and preservation. The symbolism of this sculpture is powerful, creating a disturbing juxtaposition between the fragility of childhood and the harshness of adult reality. The two children's heads, sculpted with careful attention, appear both autonomous and connected to the central man. They represent the different facets of identity and experiences that shape an individual. One hand of the central figure firmly holds another head, symbolizing the desire to protect and preserve innocence in the face of adversity. This representation highlights man's deep desire to safeguard innocence and purity, even when faced with the trials of life. The sculpture is made with a raw and expressive technique, revealing features and textures in a frank and direct manner. This aesthetic creates a visceral presence, inviting the viewer to confront the deep emotions and contradictions that inhabit the human soul.
