Context

This diptych assembles a hollow glass block and a fragment of the broken Christ. The transparent volume is pierced at its center, its inner cavity worked with a dripping texture and sealed by red wax, evoking coagulated blood. Above, two feet rest on dark, rocky heels, emerging from a circular mineral base. Precisely aligned with the void below, the fragment appears both supported and suspended. Originating as a test for 7SO, the work articulates absence as structure: what remains is not the body, but its trace, condensed between relic and residue.
