AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title: “Brain Death” — Contemporary sculpture in bronze and iron (Limited edition of 25)
“Brain Death” is a sculpture created in 2025 that reflects on mental, spiritual and emotional wear caused by the fast pace of modern life. Cast in bronze using lost-wax casting and assembled on a solid iron base, it combines powerful materials to convey a direct and critical message.
The figure shows the tongue sticking out, a universal symbol of death, exhaustion and vital loss. From its head emerge jets that represent the brain scattering, a visual metaphor for how constant stimuli, information overload and contemporary stress erode the mind and devour the spirit.
With dimensions of 40 cm in length, 12 cm in width and 14 cm in height, “Brain Death” is a striking, compact and expressive work, ideal for those seeking conceptual pieces with a strong critical and emotional component.
This sculpture is part of a limited edition of 25 works, numbered and certificate-backed, making it an exclusive piece for collectors of contemporary art, bronze lovers, or spaces seeking a work with a deep message.
