“Carapuce,” a charming work by Catherine de Kerhor, captures the calm and determined essence of the turtle, a symbol of wisdom and perseverance. Sculpted with careful precision, this turtle appears to emerge slowly, its shell worn by time and travel. Its gaze, though gentle, is filled with quiet concentration, reminding the viewer of the beauty of slowness and the richness of patience.
The raw and detailed texture of the bronze brings to life every scale of its shell, every fold of its skin. The play of light and shadow on the rough surface accentuates the details of the sculpture, creating a sense of movement despite the animal's iconic slowness. The artist perfectly captures the turtle's confident posture, its robust body and its slightly raised head, as if ready to continue its path through the ages.
By incorporating "Carapuce" into your space, you are welcoming a timeless symbol of stability and wisdom. This sculpture brings a touch of serenity and reflection, reminding everyone of the value of patience and resilience in life. "Carapuce" is not only a realistic representation of nature; it is an invitation to appreciate the beauty in simplicity and to honor the journey of every living being.
