Title
Perçe-Cœur
Date
2026
Materials
Bronze, recycled crystal, plaster
Technique
Pâte de verre; lost-wax bronze casting
Dimensions
24 × 15 × 10 cm
Context

This sculpture takes the form of a hollow bronze half-heart from which five finger-like glass limbs emerge.

Originally modeled from rods covered with oak blossoms, these limbs end in bronze claws. The cavity they define is filled with roughly carved plaster, evoking a mineral or parasitic growth.

The work is structured under the sign of the Five of Cups—a suit that translates into hearts—linking emotional loss to a body pierced from within, where rupture becomes generative.
