Twelve Apostles

CRISTEA Simion, Iași, Romania

2012 Ungheni Sculpture Camp, 5th edition Wood

Mihai Eminescu Square, National Street

The work is monumental, compact, almost totemic. The apostles are not individually separated, but integrated into a single form. This suggests the unity of the early Church, the apostles as a single spiritual body, not as individual heroes, the faith as a solid structure, which stands standing.

The work speaks of unity, the transmission of faith, assumed suffering, and spiritual continuity.

The play is not a historical representation, but a theological and existential one: the Apostles as a living structure through which God works in the world.
