With "Autumn Leaves", sculptor Hellen Halftermeyer breathes life into a figure that is both mysterious and deeply human. This piece, made from arc-welded metal (46 x 38 x 22 cm), evokes a forest spirit—an autumnal being seemingly composed of branches, fallen leaves, and memory. It is a sculpture that feels both powerful and delicate, rooted in nature and introspection.
The bust, with its rough, oxidized surface, resembles bark—a skin weathered by time and the elements. The face, expressive and eroded, seems to bear the weight of silence, memory, and stillness. Around the head, a crown of slender welded twigs and carefully forged leaves forms a vegetal halo, as if nature itself had taken hold of the figure’s body.
"Autumn Leaves" is not just a portrait of a human being—it is a threshold figure between person and tree, between matter and life. The sculpture reads like an homage to impermanence, to the beauty of change, of decay, of transformation. It reminds us that autumn, the season of falling, is also the season of quiet metamorphosis.
To acquire "Autumn Leaves" is to welcome into your collection a rare, soulful piece that connects the human form to the vegetal world. Each texture, hole, and hand-welded leaf reveals a poetic and profound artistic vision.
This work will resonate in a contemporary art collection sensitive to raw materials, organic textures, and expressive gestures. It is a centerpiece for anyone interested in themes of nature, time, memory, and the transformation of matter.
