About the Item
An eagle, in full flight, hovers over a panel where faces and numbers align. Goldie’s signature embossing technique heightens the sense of a gradual detachment, as if the eagle belonged to another dimension, a realm where matter becomes more ethereal. In universal symbolism, the eagle oscillates between several roles. As a bird of prey, it embodies power, authority, and domination. Still, it also serves as a messenger, an intermediary between the earthly world and invisible spheres. Here, it does not swoop down on prey, nor does it threaten. It glides, as if coming to take something under its wings. Rather than a predator, it appears as a guide, a figure of protection. Far from an image of violence or oppression, it could be a conductor, carrying souls toward another existence.
The panel it overlooks is more enigmatic. On it, one can make out faces reduced to almost spectral sketches, numbers lined up in a mysterious order, and the word "GRASS," which emerges as a counterpoint. Grass grows, covers, and is reborn. It is both memory and promise. The curve of the panel evokes the bend of the world, a circular horizon where a larger cycle unfolds.
The composition summons historical and symbolic references, enriched by the sepia-tinged atmosphere. These faces reduced to numbers might recall the anonymization of individuals in the tragedies of history. Is it an evocation of the camps? Or a broader critique of the reduction of humanity to simple data? However, the eagle, suspending its flight, seems to offer a response: it counters this mechanism with another logic—that of elevation, transition, and transcendence.
There is no overt pain in this work. It settles into a poetic atmosphere, where the weight of the past coexists with the possibility of flight. The souls are not abandoned—they are carried. The embossing technique sublimates all this, lending the piece a three-dimensionality.
This is an embossed artwork, numbered 1/1, unique, presented framed and signed by the artist Goldie.
