Jaume Plensa — Frida's dream
Jaume Plensa

Frida's dream

2016

A hauntingly beautiful figurative sculpture by Jaume Plensa, 'Frida's dream' depicts a seated human form constructed entirely from interlocking letters and typographic characters drawn from multiple world scripts. The open lattice of white painted steel allows light to pass through, casting intricate shadows and creating a dreamlike sense of transparency and fragility. This work exemplifies Plensa's signature exploration of language, identity, and the inner life of the human body. Part of a limited edition of 8, the piece includes a Certificate of Authenticity from an authorized authenticating body.
