Antoine Berberi's sculptures, mirroring the movement of salt and wind

Al-Ousbouh Al-Arabi · late 1980s

In-depth, richly illustrated article, returning to the recurring themes of the work: attachment to the Lebanese land, figures of exile and return, motherhood and the couple. Among the pieces mentioned are « Le Retour des frères absents » (The Return of the Absent Brothers), a sculpture on motherhood and an embracing couple. The artist confides in it his relationship to the landscape: « From stone to sea, from mountain to a bare tree on the road, everything in primal nature stops me. »
