I know Your Future

Darie Dup

10.000 

The sculpture takes the form of an ear, inspired by a once-forgotten practice involving the “ghioc,” a large shell used for divination in matters of love. Traditionally, this shell was believed to possess mystical properties, allowing those with the gift to foresee destinies. The sculpture captures the essence of the “ghioc”, which, when held to the ear, was thought to produce an enigmatic sound—a whisper of the future. By integrating this historical and mystical element, the artist creates a symbiosis between natural and abstract forms. The shell’s shape, while reminiscent of a rock, transcends its original animalistic context, embodying a transformative relationship between different realms.
