Belisama Hopefully - Woman body sculpture bronze steel lace and gold leaves necklace

Contemporary and captivating sculpture, it embodies all the delicacy and power of the female body through delicate metallic lace.

With Hopefully, I wanted to capture the effervescent and carefree spirit of the 1900s, between French Cancan and prohibition, where seduction blends with boldness.
This sculpture is a female bust made using my steel and bronze lace technique, whose openwork and organic lines create a play of light that makes the material almost alive.

The body unfolds in a form both supple and assertive, pierced by light and transparency, while the minimalist necklace covered with 24-carat gold leaf punctuates the whole like a subtle flash of luxury and refinement.

I wanted this piece to evoke joy of life and pleasure, while maintaining a natural elegance, a class from those years of celebration and freedom. You can almost imagine the clicking of heels on the floor, the smoke from a cigarette holder, the rhythm of a piano or an orchestra in a Parisian cabaret… yet the sculpture retains its nonchalance.

The metallic lace lets the eye wander, revealing the strength and fragility of the female body, transforming the material into a suspended dance. Light and space become an integral part of the sculpture, enhancing its living and organic character.

With Hopefully, I wanted to offer a slice of dream, pleasure, and elegance, where the body becomes music, light, and a memory of past celebrations.
