Madonna

The image of a mother and child is one of the most archetypal and easily understood symbols in any culture—perhaps even a trite one. Yet it remains the most tender and emotionally charged, as it represents the beginning of everything: both the good and the bad. Whether it tells a story of sacrifice or one of maternal egoism, it still breathes with love.The older version from 2021 is clearly about seeing oneself in the offspring, while the small sculpture from 2025 speaks more to a sense of inseparability.Funny enough, the plaster prototypes might look nice on their own, though they differ drastically from the bronze versions.
