Sprachlos

Description

The sculpture "Speechless" captivates the viewer with its depiction of a child's back in pristine white, a symbol of innocence and purity. Above it hover the mother's golden hands, meant to offer protection. However, black marks on the hands reveal the mother's bitter struggle to protect her child from family court proceedings and abuse. These dark marks represent the challenges and the darkness that surround her. The stretcher frame on which the sculpture rests displays a spiral of green and black. Green symbolizes hope and growth, while black embodies suffering and darkness. The spiral represents the cycle of isolation the mother endures. "Speechless" illustrates the desperate protective instinct of a mother who remains speechless in her silent struggle.
