Listen to me... Sculpture

Inspired by the feeling of compassion evoked by the many votive images and objects I've seen in Latin America and Europe, I'm working on a series of ex-voto images, most of them in relief, which tell not so much of an accomplished miracle as of the simple desires, both practical and existential, that we humans of all backgrounds share. Our flaws, our fears, our desire for immaterial relief. Health, self-esteem, more control over the fleetingness of life, more respect, less anxiety, less arbitrary judgment, more courage, more love… Deep down we humans have more in common than we think. This was the first piece in my ex-voto series, and the one that set it off years ago. The idea was germinating in my head one day as I sat in the Paris metro and my glance settled on a young woman with a compelling face who, ignoring the book in her hands, stared off into a bubble of personal space insulating her from the commuting crowd. I asked myself what might be the one thing she desired above all others in her life right then, and this was the answer I came up with...
