Metal, although dense and resistant, appears here as a material in transformation. It opens, fragments and unfolds, allowing space and light to circulate.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe openwork forms play an essential role in this exploration. I do not seek to enclose the body within a solid volume, but rather to create a sculpture in which emptiness becomes as important as the material. Light passes through the reliefs, reveals certain surfaces, makes others disappear and constantly changes the perception of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eParvati, a presence between strength and fragility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eParvati’s inspiration allowed me to approach the female figure as a presence that is both deeply embodied and permeated by an inner force. In this work, the body is not merely an anatomical representation: it becomes the vehicle for an energy that seems to flow through it.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe small size of this sculpture fully reflects this intention. More intimate, it invites close observation of the textures, openings and movements of the material. I wanted to concentrate a living, vibrant presence within this format, where the apparent fragility of the metal contrasts with the power of the energy it seems to contain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5Kl3TfEiA1g?si=vkjBFKOlPLIW25br\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSculpture specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 99.915%; height: 238.225px;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.7208%; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eArtwork title\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 72.0021%; text-align: right; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePavarti The Force of Breath\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.7208%; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eCollection\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 72.0021%; text-align: right; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Small-Size Bodies Collection\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/sculpture-buil.com\/collections\/corps-petite-taille\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSmall-Size Bodies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.7208%; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eArtist\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 72.0021%; text-align: right; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Introduction to the artist Philippe Buil\" href=\"https:\/\/sculpture-buil.com\/pages\/qui-suis-je\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePhilippe Buil\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.7208%; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 72.0021%; text-align: right; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eContemporary sculpture\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.7208%; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eTechnique\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 72.0021%; text-align: right; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Philippe Buil’s metal lace technique\" href=\"https:\/\/sculpture-buil.com\/pages\/technique\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMetal lace\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.7208%; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eMaterials\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 72.0021%; text-align: right; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eSteel and bronze\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.7208%; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eSignature\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 72.0021%; text-align: right; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eEngraved on the base\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSteel base diameter: 4 in\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 10 in - Width: 8 in - Depth: 5 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLearn more about the sculpture “Pavarti – The Force of Breath”\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eWhat does the sculpture “Pavarti – The Force of Breath” represent?\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePavarti – The Force of Breath\u003c\/em\u003e represents a female figure inspired by \u003cstrong\u003eParvati\u003c\/strong\u003e, a major deity in the Hindu tradition.
