With this poignant work, Philippe Rude offers a vibrant tribute to Samuel Paty, a teacher who was a victim of intolerance and barbarism.
Outstretched hands rise from a rounded shape, evoking a protective cocoon or a planet in fragile balance, like a call for dialogue, the transmission of knowledge, and freedom of expression. The delicately sculpted scarf, symbolizing the teacher, wraps itself around memory and respect. At the top, a golden flame rises, a metaphor for the spirit and the light that never go out.
The whiteness of the sandstone accentuates the purity and strength of the message, while the whole invites reflection, remembrance and commitment to the fundamental values of our society.
