Celestial Columns 03 se présente comme un triptyque vertical où chaque colonne devient un totem contemporain. Combinant textile, plâtre et signes graphiques en bas-relief, l’œuvre propose une ascension rythmée par des motifs symboliques. Les textures se superposent, les volumes se détachent, et les symboles sculptés apparaissent comme des empreintes silencieuses inscrites dans la matière. Ces colonnes murales, à la fois sculpturales et picturales, évoquent des objets rituels réinventés — porteurs d’histoires fragmentées, de mémoire migrante et de spiritualité transversale. Par leur élévation, elles suggèrent un lien entre terre et ciel, entre héritage ancestral et langage visuel contemporain.
Celestial Columns 03 is a vertical triptych in which each column becomes a contemporary totem pole. Combining textiles, plaster and graphic signs in bas-relief, the work offers an ascent marked by symbolic motifs. Textures are layered, volumes stand out, and the sculpted symbols appear like silent imprints inscribed in the material. These mural columns, both sculptural and pictorial, evoke reinvented ritual objects - bearers of fragmented histories, migrant memory and transversal spirituality. Their elevation suggests a link between earth and sky, between ancestral heritage and contemporary visual language.
