Cette oeuvre célèbre l'amitié. Nos amitiés s'enrichissent de nos fragilités, de nos forces.
« Il y a l’ homme qui est ton ami
pour partager tes repas
mais qui ne reste pas avec toi
au jour de ta détresse.
Quand tout va bien pour toi,
il est comme un autre toi-même
et commande avec assurance à tes domestiques ;
mais si tu deviens pauvre,
il est contre toi,
et il se cache pour t’éviter (...)
Un ami fidèle est un refuge assuré,
celui qui en trouve un a trouvé un trésor.
Un ami fidèle n’a pas de prix,
sa valeur est inestimable.
Un ami fidèle est un élixir de vie. »
Sirac 6, 8-16.
Sculpture made of lost wax bronze, in partnership with the Adobati foundry, certified quality. Guaranteed alloy. The bird can be patinated black or gold (polished and varnished bronze). A choice.
This work celebrates friendship. Our friendships are enriched by our weaknesses, our strengths.
“There is the man who is your friend
to share your meals
but who doesn't stay with you
in the day of your distress.
When everything is going well for you,
he's like another you
and command your servants boldly;
but if you become poor,
he is against you,
and he hides to avoid you (...)
A faithful friend is a sure refuge,
he who finds one has found a treasure.
A faithful friend is priceless,
its value is inestimable.
A faithful friend is an elixir of life. »
Syrac 6, 8-16.
