The Hand, White Fiberglas Sculpture inspired by August Rodin

About the Item

This sculpture of a hand, crafted in fiberglass, aligns directly with Rodin’s legacy. Shaped in a closed volume, it strips the gesture of any superfluous expression, concentrating a restrained, almost mineral force in its stillness. The hand rises like a fragile stela, detached from the body, defying the grip of time. Its fingers, arched in an intimate rhythm, do not depict an action but a singular script, an ideogram suspended in the air. The material, matte and smooth, erases all roughness to reveal a pure, almost ritualistic form. More than a human hand, it becomes an archetype, a meditative fragment offered for contemplation.
