Modeled by world-renowned aerialist Christine Van Loo, Aurora clearly references her classical lineage; the piece is rooted in figurative realism but retains an aura of modernity. This famed illusion of suspension works its magic, and the figure appears to levitate, supported by the billowing folds of crimson cloth that flow from her arms. The sphere below her inspires us to seek our own understanding of the piece: does the sphere represent the world, with Aurora above, eternal and constant, or does it represent mathematical perfection, and serve to highlight the humanity – musculature and emotion – of the woman above it?
