Tête sans visage no.001
Description artistique
Cette sculpture en terre cuite, marquée par une texture brute et des traces de corrosion, représente une mémoire silencieuse.
Les lunettes en fil coloré bleu et rouge rappellent la dualité de la vision : celle de l’histoire oubliée et celle de l’avenir encore à inventer.
Les formes irrégulières et les détails gravés traduisent la fragilité du souvenir, un témoignage sculpté contre l’effacement du temps.
Symbolique
La signification de cette tête dans l’histoire collective
A sculpted memory, a universal story
The “100 Heads WITHOUT Faces” collection brings together one hundred unique sculptures, handcrafted from terracotta and rusted metal. These works embody the invisible faces of our collective history: undocumented migrants drowned at sea, victims of slavery, those forgotten in genocides, the anonymous whose memories are fading.
Each of these heads, deliberately devoid of features, symbolizes a life, a past, a suspended history. Faceless, they become the silent bearers of individual and collective memories, inviting us to reflect on our shared humanity.
Through this series, the artist invites us to acknowledge these erased lives and to rebuild bridges between the past and the future. “I open the graves of the undocumented migrants who drown in the seas and in the deserts, I denounce the macabre sounds of the cannons of war…”, he affirms, thus expressing the emotional and political power of this work.
“100 Heads WITHOUT Faces” is much more than an art collection: it is a sculptural archive, a call to memory, to dialogue, and to a better understanding of our common roots. Faceless Head no.
Passionate about collective memory and questions of identity, the artist works with clay and metal to give form to what is often invisible or forgotten. Through the series “100 Heads Without Faces,” he offers a space for reflection and dialogue on the wounds of the past and the hopes for a more just future.
