This delicate terracotta bust embodies the silent strength and inner gentleness of a female face frozen in contemplation. Through Stéphanie , Arestakes explores the beauty of nature, between sensitive realism and expressive modeling.
The texture of the earth, deliberately left raw at the base, contrasts with the delicacy of the face, offering a subtle dialogue between the movement of the material and the stability of the gaze. The work evokes birth, memory, or even the intimacy of a feminine presence anchored in the clay of the world.
A hymn to embodied vulnerability.
