Emptiness sculpture

[mellowyellow]

Melancolie was created by Albert György, a Romanian born sculptor and can be found in a small park on the promenade along the shore of Lake Geneva. Switzerland. This work of art displays the true desolation and loneliness associated with grief. It’s gaping hole is the toll of grief — making the individual nothing more than an empty, physical shell.

It reminds me of 'the Scream' painting---someone so alone, all alone in grief, in fear. Exquisite, mel, thanks for posting this.

The outline of the body where the head bends down also reminds me of a picture frame and what's inside it is the shifting scene behind him. Brilliant!

That certainly shows despair.

I ain't got no body and nobody cares for me,
'Cause, I ain't got no body, I'm empty as can be...

This sculpture reminds me of a post I posted just minutes ago
in my thread (lotsa' spots & dots post #455 quote)

"I've looked at clouds from both sides now, from up and down
And still somehow it's cloud's illusions I recall...
So many things I could have done but clouds got in my way
Now they only block the sun. I really don't know clouds at all

(in part from Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now")

It brought this sculpture (which there are apparently several renderings of at various places) to my mind:
The Weight of Grief

"I've looked at clouds from both sides now, from up and down
And still somehow it's life's illusions I recall...
So many things I could have done but clouds got in my way
Now they only block the sun. It's cloud's illusions I recall"

One of her best along with
They Paved Paradise (and put up a parking lot)
And
He Was Playing Real Good for Free
