Deleuze Kneeling Down
A human figure appears frozen mid-gesture, kneeling in an attitude of submission or contemplation, encased in acrylic resin that preserves the moment with uncanny stillness. The knitted jumper worn by the figure introduces a domestic, everyday familiarity that contrasts sharply with the absurdity and existential weight of the pose. Wurm references the philosopher Gilles Deleuze, embedding ideas of becoming, transformation, and the body's relationship to thought within a single, tragicomic sculptural moment.
