SCULPTURE TITLE
Sapien´s death
SCULPTURE DESCRIPTION
The work expresses the hand of an inert being that is halfway between a primate and an android. It represents the legacy of a wild, deeply evolutionary animal that betrayed its essence and ended up being an object of artifice, half person, half machine.
The tree that grows immutably from the dead hand of sapiens manifests the greatness of a world that housed a being that, insatiable in its growth, forgot that its greatest virtue lay in the symbiosis with the planet that timidly rocked it in an infinite universe.
The arches symbolize past, present and future, a journey through time in which sapiens transcends, creating a reality where the border between the most fertile life and the most progressive technology merge, creating an unsustainable dimension that would end up illuminating the extinction of a species that challenged the evolutionary promise of a life that, perhaps, was nothing more than the dream of the passage of time and oblivion.
