Ronde Pointe (Love Chapter 2)

In Ronde Pointe (Love Chapter 2), the body is condensed into a shortened bust set upon tightly joined legs, as if resting after exertion. The pale ceramic gently catches the light, presenting the form as an enveloped volume rather than a described anatomy. What emerges is not musculature but a sense of skin, fabric, and contact. The body feels folded inward, intimate and unassertive.

The surface is built in layered folds, recalling drapery or bandaging. These strata guide the eye and suggest a gesture of tightening, holding, perhaps protecting. From front and back, the undulations subtly shift the perception of volume, creating a soft oscillation between presence and withdrawal.Movement is not shown; it lingers in the memory of tension.

The work reflects on the ambivalence of embrace: to wrap can mean to care as much as to contain. The fragment becomes a space of contained emotion, favoring closeness over spectacle. The sculpture invites sustained attention to its surface nuances, proposing love as a quiet choreography of pressure, breath, and support.
