"Cogito, ergo sum" is a famous philosophical maxim by René Descartes, translated as "I think, therefore I am." It means that the act of doubting or thinking proves one's own existence as a thinking subject. This realization forms the foundation for certain knowledge, since even in the face of radical doubt about everything, the thinking "I" must exist.
Loeschner-Gornau presents here a sculpture depicting a stylized human figure, appearing as if it were in a dynamic pose. It is made of a material with a structured, slightly fissured surface. The color scheme is a mixture of turquoise green and gold, with the gold acting like a patina or sheen over the green areas. Accents in a reddish tone are also present, particularly visible on the base and in some parts of the figure. The body is openwork, with oval or elongated openings in the torso area that lend it a sense of lightness and transparency. The arm is raised and the legs slightly bent, creating an impression of movement, dance, or jubilation. The artwork is placed on a smooth, gray tiled or coated surface against a neutral, light gray background. The lighting is even and diffused, avoiding harsh shadows and highlighting the surface texture and colors of the sculpture. The composition is symmetrical and focused on the object, creating a calm and contemplative atmosphere that emphasizes the artistic presentation of the sculptures.
