La larme d'Oort
La larme d'Oort
Artiste :L'ermite du bois
Puisée dans l'immensité cosmique, cette œuvre s'inspire de la ceinture d'Oort , frontière invisible de notre système solaire.
Elle incarne le départ d'un fragment céleste, comme une comète s'éloignant de son orbite. Un adieu silencieux, entre l'attachement et le vertige du détachement.

Artistic approach
"I drew my inspiration from cosmic immensity. This sculpture is a direct reference to the Oort Belt, the distant boundary that encircles our solar system. It evokes a comet, a fragment of a star, slowly leaving the Sun's gravitational field.
This departure, both gentle and irreversible, can symbolize a farewell to what kept us in orbit. A moment suspended between attachment and freedom, where the infinitely distant dialogues with our own relationship to separation, detachment, and the trajectory of all existence."
