Forged in lost-wax cast bronze with a white/green patina, this poignant artwork portrays a worn man haunted by unrealized desires. His limp echoes life's burdens, his exterior resembling a torn container. Amidst the green mold, traces of gold linger on his tattered skin. Wanderart metal-cast artworks are all hand made, therefore dimensions and weight may vary.

Fabric is the encounter of emotion and creativity
Bruni is aesthetically guided by wabi-sabi, the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection. Wabi-sabi is the appreciation of the transience of the natural world and the melancholy attraction to the impermanence of things. It treasures the simple and the rustic. It values deterioration as a physical manifestation of the passage of time, a reminder that we are all transitory on this planet and we must accept the natural cycle of growth, death and decay.
The House of Lyria Lyria seeks to find ambition and harmony in what is simple and imperfect, to make it look natural. The organic curves of a stone. The peeling surface of a stone wall. The elegance of a once-opulent, now-crumbling chair exposed for a long time to the elements. Our textiles are imbued with an unstudied quality, with genuine character and a soulful touch of the human hand. “I want to give the impression that the fabric has lived,” says Bruni.
