Cast Bronze
26 × 61 × 26 cm
(Baby Fausto) Faust is the great figure of Western legend who trades his soul for limitless knowledge and experience — but Carol's Fausto begins his story long before any such bargain, in the pure and rounded abundance of infancy, a new life bearing an old and powerful name. This tender bronze of her own son captures the moment when a name is still just a gift from a father to a child — full of promise rather than peril, the weight of the legend not yet arrived, replaced entirely by the simple and extraordinary fact of a small body at rest in the world, unaware of everything except the present moment and its own becoming.
