Esquichade #9. 'Main de fer dans gant de velours'

Details

A striking wooden sculpture juxtaposing strength and delicacy: a black, meticulously carved hand grips a smooth, curved olive wood plank. The hand's rigid fingers curl inward with controlled tension, while the organic, fluid form of the wood it holds evokes duality—resilience and malleability. Crafted through precise woodcarving techniques, this piece marries tactile texture with sculptural dynamism, embodying the paradox of 'iron fist in a velvet glove.'
