Creation for the public space
Connected to nature and the elements, «The Guardian» seems to watch over the world and give access to the interior forests of each one. To plunge into it is to open oneself to the hidden secrets, to intimate and collective metamorphoses, to primal energies; it is to connect the human to the invisible forces of Nature; it is to pay attention to the fragility of the living, its magnificence, the way it weaves and intertwines.
Born from Maxence Rey’s 2019 encounter with the sculpture «The Guardian» created by Lyon artist Mina, this new creation is inspired by this enigmatic, anthropomorphic, poetic and powerful sculptural figure. Maxence Rey gives it life, body, skin and movement, embodies it, incorporates it and makes it her own and becomes the “Guardian” who celebrates life.
