It becomes here a sacred, almost mythological drink, like a nectar from another time. This is the idea that guides the entire sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1878\" data-start=\"1599\"\u003eI work the metal in lace to give it an organic, almost living dimension. The material seems eroded, transformed, as if it had passed through centuries. This deliberate alteration creates an open, breathing structure that captures and lets light through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2010\" data-start=\"1880\"\u003eThe stopper, more massive, acts like a crown. It marks the nobility of the object, its precious, almost ritual character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2305\" data-start=\"2012\"\u003eThe yellow resin, for its part, is essential. I see it as liquid light, a solar flow that passes through the sculpture. It evokes both honey, amber, and the idea of a concentrated, precious elixir. It flows down the structure like energy, like a revelation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2453\" data-start=\"2307\"\u003eI like the contrast it creates with the dark metal. It is a tension between shadow and light, between raw material and the purity of the flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2615\" data-start=\"2455\"\u003eIn this work, I do not seek to freeze an object, but to suggest a transformation. Something that flows, that passes through, that exists beyond time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2733\" data-start=\"2617\"\u003eThis is a sculpture that speaks of memory, inner richness, and what remains after everything has been consumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NyDlS4DlYks?si=QMDJwE84H_KPiF2m\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSculpture Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTitle of the Work\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOld Plum Bottle 42-25\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCollection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Philippe Buil Intimate Sculptures range\" href=\"https:\/\/sculpture-buil.com\/collections\/sculptures-intimes\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eIntimate Sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Philippe Buil Bottle Collection -
