Nadine Hardy's bas-relief, crafted entirely in white, captures a moment of intense exchange between five human silhouettes. Each figure appears to be engaged in a silent consultation, forming a compact group whose bodies subtly stand out from the background thanks to the shadows they cast.
The artist's exclusive use of white is a deliberate choice. This single color creates a uniformity and purity in the work, which is difficult to achieve with other hues. White, with its brilliance and luminosity, brightens the decor and brings an unparalleled freshness. It highlights the forms and volumes without distraction, allowing the viewer to focus fully on the details of the silhouettes and their interactions.
The bodies, although discreet, reveal a marked presence through the play of shadow and light, creating a depth that brings the scene to life. This subtle but effective contrast makes the silhouettes almost tangible, inviting prolonged contemplation and personal interpretation of the scene.
