With her sculpture "The Words Whispered by Birds", Bérénice Fourmy invites us into a moment of gentle reverie, where silence becomes a language. Measuring 48 x 20 x 12 cm, this delicate piece features a seated feminine figure in patinated terracotta, perched on a base of charred driftwood—a raw and natural element that tells its own story of time and transformation. Three small white birds surround her, like messengers coming to share their secrets.
The expression on the young woman’s face, both attentive and serene, captures a suspended moment—when one listens without responding, when the breath of the world is welcomed. The contrast between the deep black of the wood and the soft whiteness of the figures creates a striking, meditative visual balance. The textures and materials, both raw and gentle, reflect Bérénice Fourmy’s poetic signature: sculptures that speak without words, yet resonate deeply.
What appears to be a simple scene reveals deep subtlety: the textures echo each other, the postures communicate silently, and an invisible exchange is felt between the human figure and the living world. The birds, symbols of freedom and inspiration, become quiet confidants—perhaps whispering the unspoken thoughts we carry within.
Through her use of charred driftwood, Bérénice Fourmy embraces a sustainable and symbolic material. The blackened wood, evoking burnt earth, becomes the ground from which listening and inner rebirth emerge.
Available for purchase online through Galerie Bouillon d’art in Bordeaux, "The Words Whispered by Birds" is an ideal sculpture for anyone wishing to enrich a peaceful, intimate, or contemplative space. Perfect for collectors seeking sensitivity, emotion, and quiet storytelling. This piece is a tribute to slowness, nature, and the delicate beauty of introspection.
