GALRY - Everything but a gallery

With Sunflower, Valérie Hadida brings the grounded stillness of the body into dialogue with a movement towards light. Seated in the lotus position, the figure unfolds a radiant crown of hair, like a sun rising above her quiet presence.

The stability of her posture echoes the movement of her hair: one draws inward, while the other opens out into space. Their interplay creates a presence both serene and vibrant, its delicacy given lasting form in bronze.

The title, meaning Sunflower, offers a poetic way into the work: like a flower turning towards the sun, this figure seems to welcome what nourishes and warms. An inner light takes shape, inviting us to slow down.
