Inspired by Kenneth MacMillan’s Manon, this piece transforms a small twisted bronze sculpture into an expansive world of movement and emotion, their forms unfolding in gestures of longing, strength, and vulnerability.
These shadow figures echo the dramatic duality at the heart of Manon: of freedom and entrapment. The sculpture uses light as its storyteller, allowing the ephemeral silhouettes to become the real performers, dancing far beyond the physical limits of the material object. In this interplay between object and shadow, the piece speaks to the way love, memory, and artistry extend well beyond the borders of the tangible; existing, instead, in the spaces they illuminate.
