Dimensions
At 46 cm high, 10 cm long, and 9 cm wide, this vertical sculpture makes a striking statement. Its slender shape gives it an expressive silhouette, ideal for attracting attention without dominating the space.
Exceptional Materials
Crafted from black poplar wood, some of which is driftwood naturally polished by time, this work combines raw material with organic elegance. The natural beeswax and turpentine finish reveals the wood's unique texture, with its deep veins and sculpted curves.
The Art of Know-How
Each facet of Allégeance reveals precise craftsmanship, designed to enhance the natural characteristics of the wood. The contrast between the two species pays homage to the gesture of the hand and the beauty of the crafted life.

Artistic approach
"With Allégeance, I wanted to explore what it means to dedicate oneself to a belief or to someone. To bear allegiance is sometimes an act of sincere commitment, of faith, of deep attachment... but it can also become a surrender of oneself, a silent submission.
This sculpture seeks to show these two facets: the light of fidelity, and the shadow of renunciation. It is up to each of us to see our own reflection, that of a bond chosen, endured, or perhaps both at the same time."
Sustainability
Respect for the Environment
The choice of black poplar, partly driftwood, underlines a desire to reuse and respect the material. By using natural wood, this work gives a second life to what nature itself has sculpted.
Natural Longevity
Allégeance is built to last. Its stable structure and dense wood give it an understated solidity, designed to stand the test of time without losing its visual power or meaning.
