‘HEAD IN THE SAND’ 2023
A Sculpture that invites us to CONNECT and DISCOVER the HISTORY of the Elbe Sandstone.

Unlike conventional sculptures that merely capture a moment in time, this piece of art transcends traditional boundaries. A masterwork of contemplation, it lacks a chiseled face, an expression that might suggest a predetermined emotion. Instead, a serene void occupies the space where features would traditionally reside – a blank canvas of sorts, inviting observers to project their own emotions, experiences, and perceptions onto its smooth surface.
The true allure of this sculpture lies in its deliberate incompleteness. Positioned at eye level, it extends an implicit invitation to all who approach: a quiet call to engage, to participate, to complete the narrative. As if an unspoken pact between artist and spectator, the sculpture transforms into an interactive conduit, enabling an intimate connection between the material and the ethereal.
