Girl number 12

Plaster, metal frame, wood, acrylic This sculpture continues the artist’s earlier series Bronze Children, originally created as a group of small-format works. In this piece, the image is reinterpreted on a larger scale and in a more contemporary visual language while preserving the emotional fragility of the original series. The figure of the girl stands between completion and dissolution: one part of the face is carefully modeled, while the other remains unfinished, almost disappearing into the material. This contrast creates a feeling of memory, transformation, and the unstable nature of identity and perception. The simplified silhouette and monochrome blue surface give the work a quiet symbolic presence, somewhere between a child figure, an apparition, and a preserved emotional state. Raised hands suggest movement, surrender, play, or ritual — leaving the gesture open to interpretation. Made of plaster over a metal armature with a wooden base, the sculpture intentionally retains traces of process and material vulnerability. The work is available for bronze casting upon request.
