Mother's hands

BAROTI Adam, Romania.

2012 Ungheni Sculpture Camp, 4th edition. Wood

"Grigore Vieru" Square, National Street, corner with Vasile Alecsandri Street

The work captures the protective force and maternal tenderness in an archaic, vertical form, with influences from traditional sculpture. The mother's hands become the symbolic axis of the composition – a gesture of protection, continuity and transmission of life. The wood, preserved close to its natural state, emphasizes the connection with the earth, the root and the collective memory, transforming the maternal figure into a universal archetype.
