Antony Gormley — Pore
Antony Gormley

Pore

2002

"Pore" is a monumental cast iron sculpture by British artist Antony Gormley that depicts a life sized human figure in a contemplative, inward facing pose. The work continues Gormley's exploration of the human body as a site for spiritual and phenomenological inquiry, using casting techniques to transform the artist's own form into a public monument. The sculpture's surface texture and material weight invite viewers to consider themes of interiority, vulnerability, and the body's relationship to space and time.
