Continuous learning
Bone Sculpture
This imposing sculpture depicts a teenager striding confidently, absorbed in reading an open book, while carrying a heavy load of logs on his back. The scene, both narrative and highly symbolic, evokes the harmonious balance between physical exertion and intellectual learning: the reader's focused gesture responds to the tangible weight of the load, in a subtle celebration of discipline, perseverance, and knowledge.
The work is distinguished by the richness and finesse of its execution. The garments are enlivened with delicate engravings and meticulous motifs, while the relief treatment of the wooden load demonstrates a remarkable sense of volume and texture. Presented on an architectural base adorned with geometric friezes, the object acquires an almost monumental presence, fully asserting its status as a display piece.
An object of character and contemplation.
