DescriptionThis is a large figural sculpture made of blown and hot-sculpted glass, which has two main sections that must be assembled together: the upper body and the lower body. The figure is of a man, who stands just over six feet tall. His two arms are raised upwards and his head hangs downwards. His feet are slightly spread apart. The words NI AQUI appear in black paint, running down the man’s right arm, and the words NI ALLA appear on his left arm (the viewer would read the phrase “Ni aquí, ni allá” when facing the sculpture).
