In "Confession to the Bird", Bérénice Fourmy brings to life a scene that is both quiet and profoundly moving—a tender moment where intimacy takes shape in a single breath. Measuring 31 x 10 x 8 cm, this sculpture in patinated terracotta, placed atop a charred wood block, features a young girl and a small bird touched with gold leaf. The girl stands gently leaning toward the bird, in a posture that is both shy and open, while the bird listens silently.
Emotion arises from this restraint—no grand gestures, no theatrics, just raw, sincere vulnerability. The child's gaze, her hands resting softly in front of her, and her timid posture all speak of a desire to reveal something hidden—a truth, a feeling, a fragile thought. The bird, as a symbol of gentle listening and inner freedom, becomes the silent keeper of her secret.
With her signature poetic touch, Bérénice Fourmy sculpts the invisible bond between human and living being, between what is felt and what is received. The charred black wood base adds intensity, grounding the scene in both gravity and grace. The subtle presence of gold leaf on the bird transforms it into a figure of fragility and reverence—a sacred listener to the unspoken.
This sculpture resonates with the universal human experience: our doubts, our need to be heard, and the comfort found in quiet connection. It is an example of minimalist emotional storytelling, where every detail, every silence, holds meaning.
Available for purchase through the Galerie Bouillon d’art in Bordeaux, and online, "Confession to the Bird" is ideal for introspective interiors, quiet corners, reading nooks, or meditation spaces. A tender and evocative work, it invites viewers to listen differently—to others, to themselves, and to silence.
