About this artwork
When we are down, when life has brought us to our knees and all we have left to reach out to is the sky...
But the call is made with dignity. His face remains impassive. Like those destitute Africans who wait for hours without complaint for their ration of water. A memory of the travels I have made in my life as a filmmaker. This is why, using hot wax (using the age-old technique of the Fayoum painters), I painted him a costume that reminds me of… Africa. This sculpture embodies a striking energy, a vibrant call to infinity. I wanted to convey hope and the quest for freedom through this character reaching out, between shadow and light. It will bring a powerful emotional force to your home, a breath of dream and passion that invites you to surpass yourself and open yourself to the world with audacity.
