“ORB” is a sculpture that combines formal simplicity with a deep symbolic charge.
Initially conceived to be placed in front of the majestic pyramids of Giza, this work presents the challenge of creating a harmonious dialogue with one of the most emblematic historical environments in the world.
The choice of Montreal's “Place des Arts” for the subsequent installation of “ORB” reinforces its universal character, establishing a meaningful link with a culturally rich and socially symbolic environment of the city.
At its core, “ORB” reinterprets an everyday object - the convex traffic mirror - by transforming it into an artistic element. Multiplied and arranged in a unique spherical pattern, this familiar and often overlooked urban component takes on a new life as part of a work that surprises and fascinates the viewer.
The sculpture's mirrored surface reflects fragments of the environment and those who observe it, evolving with the passage of day and night. This continuous interaction creates a dynamic experience that invites a profound reflection on the relationship between art, urban space and its inhabitants.
