Damaged

From Boky’s Figurative Poetry Collection, this bronze was directly inspired by a poem entitled Mea Culpa taken from Paul Géraldy’s book Toi et Moi.  It has been a source of inspiration for Boky for many years.  While studying in Florence, she found an old, dilapidated copy of the book in a basement.  It inspired a series of paintings, as well as, a series of photos entitled Le Roi est Mort.

The sculpture exists in two editions, one has the excerpt of Géraldy’s poem in the interior of the female figure, while the other edition does not.   

They are either gold leafed or platinum leafed.
