About this Sculpture

Eternal is piece that reflects the concept of natural conservation .Massive extinction throughout generations, thousands of hectares of rainforests eradicated. Hundreds of animals who lost their precious habitats. Constant floods, green and refreshing fields turned arid and black, heat waves and cold waves. All consistent with Mankind presence on earth, a direct result of its exploitation.

Eternal speaks of the connection between two beings as it is something divine. The natural untouched wild regions, already so slim, when contemplated, whispers for who wants to hear it. Natura and Human relate instantly, however, we tend to ignore such bond, completely blind by the ego.

Made in marble and wood to stretch this opposite however so similar concepts, the durability but also the fragility of the relationship between these two creatures. Metaphorically, as even the most solid materials with repetitive beating break, also the ecosystems, that seem to be everlasting, can also come crumbling down, as already is a present phenomenon in your days.

Plastically this piece represents this idea with to permanent elements, wood more vulnerable, so full of life and elegance, marble unbreakable and delicate, most eternal element. When sculpting I wanted to preserve a natural being, to preserve the natural habitat. I used my own strength, directly carving, to mimic it as if it was an old photo, a memory I wanted to freeze, make it almost eternal.
