Archer

After Don Quixote, the gesture changes. It is no longer resistance, but attention.

Archer is born from a different necessity: not to oppose, but to choose a direction. The tension is no longer against something, but oriented toward a distant point.

Horse and rider are inscribed within a structure that holds them together, as if movement were already contained within the form. There is no impulsive thrust, but concentration.

In this sculpture I sought a balance between strength and measure. The target is not visible, yet it is present: it is what guides the gesture, even when it cannot be seen.

Archer marks for me a moment of clarity: when form stops questioning itself and begins to assume responsibility.
