Quand le monde se tait – A Bubble of Silence Resting on a Fragment of Nature

With Quand le monde se tait, Bérénice Fourmy creates a sculpture of rare sensitivity, where two patinated terracotta figures sit close together, reading from the same book atop a tall piece of driftwood. Vertical and deeply poetic, this artwork offers a suspended moment—a refuge where silence becomes a shared space. Available for online purchase, it appeals to those seeking a contemporary sculpture filled with emotion and tenderness.

The two characters, delicately modelled, appear fully absorbed in their shared reading. The book’s pages, highlighted with touches of gold, bring a gentle glow to the composition. Their heads leaning toward one another create a palpable, intimate bond. Every detail—dangling legs, hands resting lightly on the book, torsos leaning closer—conveys a quiet complicity. Fourmy explores here the power of shared attention, that form of presence requiring no words.

The driftwood, long, dark, and weathered by time and water, plays a fundamental role. Rising like a natural totem, it elevates the figures into a serene, almost spiritual space. Its raw texture—cracks, knots, irregularities—interacts beautifully with the softness and velvety finish of the patinated terracotta. This contrast embodies the artist’s aesthetic: a gentle balance between organic material and human fragility.

Mounted on a discreet metal base, the sculpture gives the impression of floating, like a poetic column emerging from silence. The viewer’s gaze naturally follows the vertical momentum of the wood up toward the figures—a path inward, toward contemplation. Quand le monde se tait evokes that rare moment when everything seems to pause, when one retreats into the essential, when the presence of another becomes a sanctuary.

This piece fits effortlessly into contemporary or minimalist interiors, where it can fully express its evocative power. Its verticality and softness make it a unique focal point, inviting daydreaming, meditation, and stillness. For collectors or art lovers looking to purchase a unique work online, this sculpture offers a precious opportunity to acquire an original and deeply moving piece.

Here, Bérénice Fourmy demonstrates once again her talent for transforming simplicity into emotion. Quand le monde se tait is not merely a sculpture—it is a breath of peace, a shared moment, a tribute to inhabited silence.
