Work Details

Concept and Intention of the Artwork

This is the first sculpture with the concept of “Portrait In Sculpture.” A portrait sculpture of a sculptor with the motif of a photograph shown together with the sculptor's own work. The sculptures that were made remain, and the sculptor disappears. A portrait of existence and extinction living together.

This work is based on photographs taken when Henry Moore presented “Portrait Lying Down,” which is his representative work in his career.
