Re-Emergence
Sonia Payes' inverted Re Emergence bronze sculptures challenge perceptions of form, identity and transformation, offering a powerful reflection on the duality of existence. These sculptures differing in their inverted orientation and dark patina, evoke a sense of the unknown as if the figures are emerging from shadows or descending into a mysterious, otherworldly space. Payes' choice to work in bronze, a material associated with strength and permanence, contrasts with the fluid, organic shapes of the sculptures, creating a dynamic tension between solidity and movement.
