This impressive sculpture, titled 'Revival. Woman from the water', captures the essence of resurrection and pure, unbound power. The woman has literally risen from the water, a modern interpretation of a mythical birth or resurrection. Her pose exudes confidence, her gaze is fearless and focuses directly on the world, as if she has just entered a new reality and is now claiming it.
The visual and sensual element of the scene is defined by her clothing, which is soaked and falls tightly around her body. The fabric has become a second skin and the drops still dripping on the ground underline the fleeting moment of transformation and movement. In this, the water symbolises purification, but also the chaos from which she has emerged with absolute calm.
The contrasts in this picture - the softness of the female figure versus the possible harshness of the surroundings, the wet versus the dry - make the composition dynamic and profound. The photographer has not just captured a portrait here, but a conceptual figure study of courage and self-assurance. This artwork is perfect for a space that wishes to exude layering, symbolic power and unshakable will.
