Cast Bronze
39 × 80 × 35 cm
Huida in Spanish carries both meanings simultaneously — the flight of a bird and the flight of a fugitive, escape as both physical act and existential condition. The figure here makes the distinction irrelevant: mounted on a single slender pin above an flat oval base, the body extends almost entirely parallel to the ground, arms reaching forward and legs trailing behind in one long unbroken horizontal arc, the whole form suspended in the pure physics of departure. There is no ground beneath her, no wall behind her, nothing to flee from and nothing yet to arrive at — only the moment of maximum velocity itself, the body given over so completely to motion that it has become motion, bronze made weightless by the conviction of escape.
