Premio Combat Prize

I am Khnum, your creator, My arms are around you, to steady your body, to safeguard your limbs. I bestow on you ores with precious stones since antiquity that were not worked before to build temples, rebuild ruins, sculpt chapels for his master. I am the master of creation. I have created myself, the great ocean which came into being in past times, according to whose pleasure the Nile rises.
 For I am the master who makes, I am he who makes himself exalted in Nun, who first came forth, Hapi who hurries at will; fashioner of everybody, guide of each man to their hour. I am Tenen, father of Gods, the great Shou living on the shore.

From the Famine Stela, Ptolemaic dynasty.

Now that utopian ideals are mostly things of the past, contemporary art seems to be caught between entertainment and financial speculation. Suffering from somekind of disease. A thought of a blind and armoured present. Sculpture becomes my rock, my ship, my castaway raft, my life. This sculpture is part of the Rock series.
