AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This sculpture signed Bachibouzouk, the Belgian Brussels-based street artist, transforms a simple wooden board into a metropolis, vibrant and compact like a breath.
Balsa squares and metal rectangles, spray-painted like shards of dawn or dusk, pile up like makeshift houses, tin roofs, miniature shelters. Each element seems to have its own story, its own warmth, but all are irresistibly drawn to one another. A dense, compact, almost organic city, where proximity becomes rhythm and breath.
At the center of this effervescence, two long empty lines trace silent paths — currents of air, promises of passage.
They cut through the city like two possible roads, two exits in a world where everything touches.
The work captures the raw energy of urbanity, the intimacy of the crowds, and the chaotic poetry of cities that invent themselves.
A fragment of Mumbai reinterpreted, a street-art dream turned sculpture, a sensitive map in which one loses oneself with delight.
