Yoan Capote — In Love (After Brancusi)
Yoan Capote

In Love (After Brancusi)

A towering sculpture of interlocking forms rises upward in a fluid, spiraling embrace, referencing Constantin Brancusi's iconic exploration of love and unity. Capote reinterprets the Modernist master's abstracted figures through an industrial lens, crafting the work from aluminum and steel to introduce a cold, contemporary tension between material and emotion. The work meditates on the paradoxes of love — its simultaneous strength and vulnerability, rigidity and longing.
