Waiting is a deeply sensitive work, capturing the essence of a moment suspended in time. The sculpture depicts a seated, pregnant woman, her body draped in flowing fabric that gracefully hugs her form. With her hands gently placed on her rounded belly, her face lowered in a posture of introspection, the figure embodies the tenderness, patience, and mystery of life in the making.
The terracotta, patinated with a warm brown, accentuates the texture of the fabric and the volumes of the body, bringing an organic and earthly dimension to this scene of great humanity.
Through this piece, Arestakes celebrates the silent strength and natural beauty of motherhood, in a spirit of gentleness and contemplation.
