The Hug

2024 - Marble on a wooden pedestal

Dimensions with pedestal: h110 x 20 x 20 cm

Sometimes sculpture does not consist in impressing one's own will, sometimes it consists in discovering what is hidden inside the rock, letting one's emotions act as a filter through which to look at the world.
This is a warm, soft sculpture, where the organic forms are accentuated by a satin surface that if it were shiny would be cold and hard.
The embrace is free to interpretation, whether it is familiar or passionate, a maternity or a sensuality, the key to understanding is in the hands of the observer.

The Hug - Story of a gesture of solidarity
"When I started making the sculpture, I thought: I have to give this to him."
An interview that tells the story of the creation of the work "The Hug", made of marble in homage to Pino "Spazzola", the barber who for 30 years has dedicated his time to charity, organizing a 24-hour haircut marathon.
