Each piece in this series is uniquely hand-tinted, ensuring that no two are identical. This particular sculpture features a light turquoise finish, evoking a dreamlike, almost ethereal presence. The fusion of the female figure with architectural forms suggests a timeless connection between the human body and built environments, blurring the line between organic and constructed spaces. The semi-matte varnish accentuates the subtle textures of the cement, enhancing the interplay between color and surface. The imagery of LarA 017 carries a sense of mysticism and ancient ruins, reminiscent of forgotten civilizations and lost cities reclaimed by time. Its design resonates with the aesthetics of Japanese animated cinema, where enigmatic landscapes and structures intertwine with human narratives, evoking a fascination for the past and the enduring power of memory. The interplay between decay and permanence, structure and figure, imbues the work with an almost meditative quality. Crafted from high-durability cement, the sculpture preserves the raw essence of its material, showcasing minor surface variations, small bubbles, and natural imperfections that underscore its handcrafted nature. The composition includes fine aggregates for detailed modeling, acrylic fibers to prevent cracking, and a water-reducing agent to enhance consistency and durability. Signed by Maker See less
