Marble sculpture, hand-carved, unique work.
Two figures rise into a kiss. Their heads, crowned with wild, lace-like ruffles of marble, tilt toward one another at the summit, while below, their bodies press and merge into a single smooth, polished column. Hand-carved from white marble, the work holds a vivid contrast: the textured, unresolved crowns against the warm sheen of intertwined torsos, a single hand surfacing tenderly at the side. Claessens dissolves two into one without ever fixing a face, letting the embrace itself carry the feeling. A unique, upright work, the kiss as sculptural language, fleeting closeness made to endure.
