#196UnspokenWishes:
A Tribute to Eternal Connection
Loss is an inevitable part of life. Every day, loved ones pass away unexpectedly, leaving behind a deep void and a whirlwind of emotions: regret, longing, and the pain of unspoken words. Those left behind must navigate their lives with memories as their anchor, drawing strength from the love that still endures.
The #196UnspokenWishes collection is being created as a deeply symbolic response to this universal experience. Featuring 196 hand-sculpted couple figures, this series captures the enduring connection between two souls: one deceased and one present, glowing softly in the dark.
A Meaningful Glow in the Darkness
These sculptures are crafted with a unique blend of materials and contain fluorescent pigments that give them a subtle, luminous glow. When darkness falls, this light becomes a powerful metaphor:
- For the deceased: A spiritual presence that offers guidance and lights the path ahead.
- For the living: A reminder that love transcends the boundaries of life and death, providing solace in moments of despair.
As the glow fades, it leaves behind a sense of calm, as though the deceased is gently reassuring their loved one to carry on.
The Symbolism of Couples
Each sculpture depicts an abstract couple in a tender, intertwined pose, emphasizing the intimacy and connection shared during life. The use of fluorescent colors for the living evokes vulnerability, while the dual figures symbolize the coexistence of the physical and spiritual realms.
- The standing figures reflect mutual support and shared strength.
- The unfinished or “fading” elements remind us of the transient nature of life, leaving only love and memories behind.
A Universal Message
Through #196UnspokenWishes, we are reminded of the importance of cherishing our loved ones, saying the things that need to be said, and living fully in the moment. These sculptures are more than art—they are an invitation to reflect on life, death, and the enduring power of love.
Exhibition and Availability
This poignant collection is on permanent display at HM Gallery in Torres Vedras. Visitors are encouraged to experience the glowing sculptures in person, as the interplay of light and shadow brings the concept to life.
