Frau Lot - Prof. Fuchs, Ernst - polymer art casting on granite base, partially golded - sculpture

Fuchs, Ernst

This sculpture reimagines the biblical figure of Lot’s wife, who, according to Genesis 19, was turned into a pillar of salt for looking back at the destruction of Sodom. In her nude female form, the piece captures a moment of suspended transformation, caught between memory and judgment, defiance and loss. The gold-plated details evoke both sanctity and fragility, inviting reflection on themes of obedience, punishment, and the enduring human impulse to look back.
