Resting Figure
A sitting figure, stylized into lines and Cubist shapes, consisting of a structure of steel hollow sections which the author has been using in his work since 2002 (the series “Flood Tourists“, where the steel sections were complemented with fragments of driftwood). The sculpture nicely contrasts with the surrounding greenery and follows the geometric form of the background architecture.
