Executed in concrete, the work balances weight and vulnerability, reducing the body to essential volumes while retaining a strong emotional presence.

the fragmented torso emphasizes mass, surface, and tactility rather than anatomical detail. Natural variations in tone and texture give the sculpture a geological quality, while the beautifully developed patina adds depth and visual tension. The absence of head and limbs shifts the focus inward, turning the body into a quiet, grounded presence.

francine govers works across sculpture and painting, with the human figure as a recurring subject. Her practice focuses on presence, materiality, and inner stillness, allowing time and surface to play an integral role in the final work.
