The sculpture "Racines," created by Béatrice Fernando, is an exceptional piece that delves into the deep and complex relationship between humans and nature. Made from clay, driftwood, and cement, the sculpture depicts two figures that appear to be deeply rooted in nature, a visual metaphor for the inseparable bond between humanity and the environment. Standing 52 cm tall, "Racines" captures attention with its striking verticality and raw materials that evoke earth and wood, the foundational elements of our natural world.
The first image shows the sculpture in its entirety. Two human figures stand side by side, integrated into a massive driftwood trunk, symbolizing the profound connection between humans and nature. The driftwood, shaped by natural forces, gives the piece an organic and authentic texture, while the two figures, modeled in clay and cement, appear to emerge from the tree as a natural extension. The sculpture exudes a sense of quiet strength, where humanity and nature exist in harmony. The black metal base provides stability and elegance, highlighting the sculpture's imposing presence.
The combination of driftwood, clay, and cement is used here to emphasize the natural union between humans and their environment. The driftwood, a witness to the passage of time, symbolizes nature's resilience and durability, while the human figures represent vital energy. Béatrice Fernando has masterfully fused these elements, creating a work that speaks to both the fragility and power of this bond.
The second image offers a close-up of the two figures’ faces. Their serene and contemplative expressions capture a sense of calm and harmony. Sculpted in clay, the faces blend naturally into the tree trunk, as if these figures have always been part of the wood. Béatrice Fernando brings emotional depth through the simplicity and purity of the human features, which contrast with the rugged texture of the wood.
This close-up showcases how the artist has seamlessly merged the softness of human features with the roughness of the tree bark, reflecting the idea that humans and nature are intrinsically connected. The two figures, though distinct, seem to be a natural extension of the wood, further emphasizing the theme of interdependence between humanity and the environment.
"Racines" is a perfect sculpture for contemporary art collectors and nature enthusiasts. It embodies the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature, symbolizing that both depend on each other for existence and growth. This piece, which combines natural and crafted materials, offers a poetic and powerful vision of our place in the world. "Racines" is ideal for any modern art collection or to be displayed in a space where harmony with nature is a central inspiration.
