“We shape clay to make vases<\/p>

But it’s the internal vacuum that determines their use,<\/p>

A house is pierced by doors and windows<\/p>

It’s the void that makes habitat possible,<\/p>

Being gives possibilities<\/p>

It’s through non-being that we use them.”<\/p>

Lao-Tseu<\/p>

The general shape is the silhouette of a humpback whale’s tail, raised vertically <\/em>The general shape is<\/i> the silhouette of a humpback whale’s tail erected vertically on the ocean surface during an event called “breaching”, i.e. the moment when the whale propels itself wholly or partially out of the water.<\/i><\/em><\/p>

The two identical front and rear silhouettes are joined by welded inner and <\/em>and outer sidewalls, which are welded together to give the sculpture <\/em>rigidity.<\/em><\/p>

Recessed in the center, the remaining part measures approximately 20 to 30 <\/em>cm wide for a sculpture approximately 400 cm high.<\/em><\/p>

This sculpture proposes a reflection on the very essence of things, on the source that has no name, that cannot be conceptualized and that we call “void” because it escapes us. <\/em>we call “void” because it escapes us.<\/i><\/p>

<\/p>

Materials considered<\/em><\/span> : <\/em>Corten steel, Art bronze, polished or brushed stainless steel, powder-coated steel, aluminum.<\/em><\/p>

Bronze is a timeless work of art. These are veritable sculptures that stand the test of time and develop a patina over time. The change in standing is noticeable for both the specifier and the public. <\/span><\/em><\/p>

With stainless steel, Corten steel or lacquered steel, the contemporary touch is noticeable. These monumental sculptures can be integrated into ultra-modern architectural projects. <\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t

Inspired by the caudal fin of a humpback whale raised vertically to the surface of the oceans during an event called “breaching”, i.e. the moment when the whale propels itself entirely or partially out of the water.<\/i><\/p>

Breaching” can have several meanings <\/em>communication, territorial claims, pest elimination, hunting aid or observation of the surface.<\/i><\/p>

Whales are majestic creatures that capture our imagination with their immense size and incredible acrobatic displays. This show is always <\/em>impressive for observers. <\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
