About Butterfly And Lady कलात्मक शिल्प

बटरफ्लाई एन्ड लेडी एउटा कांस्य मूर्ति हो, जसमा पुतलीहरूले सिँगारिएकी एक महिलालाई चित्रण गरिएको छ। यो आकृतिका आँखा बन्द छन्, जसले गहिरो चिन्तन वा सपना देख्ने भावलाई सङ्केत गर्छ, जबकि स्वतन्त्रता र रूपान्तरणका प्रतीकका रूपमा पुतलीहरू उनको टाउको र काँधमा बसेका छन्। यो कृति परम्परागत लस्ट वाक्स विधिबाट ढालिएको हो। थर्मल कलरिङ प्रक्रियाले कांस्यको सतहलाई संगमरमर जस्तो बनावट प्रदान गर्छ, र विरोधाभासका लागि पुतलीहरूलाई सुन जस्तो देखिने सामग्रीमा प्रस्तुत गरिएको छ। यस मूर्तिको आकार ७५० बाई ४९५ बाई ४७६ मिलिमिटर छ, र यसले मानिस र प्रकृतिबीचको सम्बन्धमा चिन्तन प्रस्तुत गर्छ।

The woman in the sculpture has her eyes closed, as if in deep thought or dreaming, and the butterflies that adorn her head and shoulders seem to communicate to the viewer that her mind and soul are unchained by the material world.
