WHITE REFRACTORY TERRA COTTA SCULPTURE "THE CELL OPENS FROM THE HEART" HERMANN A. MEJER
The Cell Opens from the Heart
Hermann A. Mejer (contemporary)
White refractory terracotta
Dimensions: 70 × 50 cm
Powerful sculpture depicting a seated male figure, rendered in white refractory terracotta, with his knees drawn tightly to his chest and his arms clasped firmly around them. The posture conveys both containment and introspection, as though the body itself forms a protective enclosure. The figure’s head is encircled by an open band resembling the bars of a cell, a striking metaphor for the human condition—caught between confinement and release.
