Ruth and the Wind

Ephemeral beauty in balance with the strength of the wind, a reflection on the delicacy and resilience of the soul.

RUTH

“Ruth and the Wind” is a sculpture that combines the simplicity of cardboard with an emotional depth that transcends its material. Ruth’s figure seems to capture an eternal moment, as if she is immersed in an intimate dialogue with the wind, allowing it to shape her presence. The rough, natural texture of the cardboard adds a tactile and organic dimension, emphasizing the connection between humanity and nature.


The choice of cardboard is no coincidence; a humble, recycled, and ephemeral material contrasts with the strength and serenity conveyed by the piece. This invites the viewer to reflect on life’s transience and the ability to adapt gracefully to external forces. The folds and lines shaping her face and hair seem to dance, symbolizing how the wind not only caresses but also transforms.


At its core, this work is an homage to serene resilience, to the strength found in vulnerability, and to the beauty that arises when we let external forces shape us without losing our essence. It is a piece that invites you to pause, contemplate, and feel.
