🜁 DESCRIPTION
This sculpture does not merely represent a rooster.
It is the form of a tension.
Made of plasma-cut iron and oxidized, the work bears on its surface the signs of time and transformation. The oxidation, achieved with hydrogen peroxide and fixed with wax, is not decoration but a process: a material that evolves and is halted in its passage.
The rooster, a symbol of energy and momentum, here confronts the limit.
The wings suggest flight, but the structure restrains it.
The weight at the base becomes a metaphor: the human condition suspended between possibility and inability to act.
The work sits within the language of transavant-garde, where gesture and symbol return to dialog with matter, but in a contemporary, conceptual key.
It is not a decorative object.
It is a fragment of existential tension made into form.
