Mark Sugar - The girl with the book (Silent Fire)

Mark Sugar’s 2026 work titled "The girl with the book, Silent Fire"
Unique piece

“The Girl with the Book, Silent Fire” is a sculpture that celebrates the quiet strength of knowledge. The gathered figure, immersed in reading, seems to guard an inner flame: a silent fire that illuminates without burning. The material surfaces, marked by oxidations and glazes, evoke the passage of time and the persistence of thought. The work thus becomes a small altar dedicated to the word, to memory, and to transformation.
