About This Project

The work recalls this body which emerges and which, by means of struggle, succeeds in overcoming all obstacles in order to free itself from matter. The fluid parts are a reminder of the water, in homage to all the athletes who, from near or far, have contact with the water in their sport : swimming, diving, rowing, etc. the rougher parts of the stone symbolize the enormous obstacles that the athlete must face throughout his career, but from which he manages to free himself.
