“The Woman from Italy dipped her hand into the stars, running her fingers through the great glowing coils of the universe. The Distant Prince explored every far-off cave and every out of the way hole, all of the dark places. The cloud in the corner of the sky glowed, changing colors every second and dropping dead animals long before animals ever existed. I sat cross-legged in a lake for 10,000 years. But nothing lasts forever, not even us.”

“Stress” by Yoan Capote

  2004

Concrete and bronze

250 x 60 x 60 cms

Edition : -

Collection : Karen and Robert Duncan- Lincoln, Nebraska, USA

This piece was inspired by the artist’s personal experience of grinding his teeth as a result of stress; but the work is also a monument to the collective experience of contemporary urban life. The artist went to a clinic in Havana and took the molds of teeth of several anonymous people; he reproduced those teeth in bronze and conjoined the molds in a linear fashion. The bronze teeth bear the weight of each 500 pound concrete block. The sculpture symbolically uses the notion of gravity, material and its weight to create the sculpture and the idea of burden; it also examines the meaning of teeth as an important part of the body used to establish identification or the identity of a person.

WOAH WHAT?

That is profound. I noticed this by accident when asked about adjectives by a Japanese student. She translated something from Japanese like “Brown big cat” and I corrected her. When she asked me why, I bluescreened.
