Louis Dourand - Object of Desire

On a cement base, a symbol of stability and reality, stands a fragile, luminous golden banana.
The work transforms the ordinary object into a sacred icon of everyday life, elevating the ephemeral to a symbol of desire, irony, and reflection.
In the contrast between raw material and precious shine, a poetic tension is revealed: that between the mundane and the divine, between life and representation, where even the simplest object can aspire to eternity.

Technique: resin and marble powder, metallic gilding, cement base.
