    The Fracture or Social Duality

    It has been a year since the French government started putting their files in order.

    As it is expressed in the sculpture everything takes place in Duality.

    Between fair words and spite, the French lower classes on the one hand and the upper ones on the other hand, things are not going better in the best of worlds.

    The same person is fighting for his established rights and sabotaging the others’  at the same time.

    His face is half  blinded and half  clear-sighted.

    Left-side brains and right-side brains, shell-clad and vulnerable, one piercing eye and one enlightened eye bring us to the dual forces between public and private sectors, intolerance and insertion, culture and uneducation.

    Each person is a unique sculpture filled up with paradoxes that underlines the complexity in the human being and of living in a society in search for the perfect mould that would have identical parts.

    Because the statement means to be positive, this carved head finally looks much more human than so many others. It is multiple on the human scale and shows us the richness in the human melting pot, a symbol of tolerance ans respect for everybody.
