La naissance
1993
Presentation of the artwork
The sculpture is composed of a curved vertical element anchored in an inclined steel base. The vertical element is topped by a concave element on which is balanced an openwork cylinder. The artwork is an exploration of the cyclical process of nature and the vulnerability of human beings to the powerful forces of creation and destruction. The sculpture is an evocation of the space-time duality.
Associated events
The work was acquired by the Ville de Verdun following the artist’s solo exhibition Captivité Mouvement et le Seuil, presented at the Centre culturel de Verdun in 1994.
