About the Item
This photograph by Fidel Santos depicts a Renaissance-style statue of Primavera, the Roman goddess of spring, fertility, and renewal. Her serene expression and floral adornment evoke timeless beauty, while the visible age and decay of the wood speak to themes of mortality and transience. Though rendered in a moment of stillness and grace, the sculpture itself shows cracks, patina, and natural degradation, details Santos preserves intentionally in the image, transforming it into a contemporary memento mori.
By depicting the weathered sculpture and presenting it as a two-dimensional image rather than a traditional object, Santos shifts the viewer's relationship with the figure. What might have been a static, three-dimensional relic becomes a meditation on memory and loss, filtered through the permanence of photography and the impermanence of the subject.
This piece is part of Fidel Santos’ broader practice, which often explores the symbolism of decay, the fragility of beauty, and the preservation of time-worn subjects through contemporary mediums. Whether exploring relics of classical antiquity or remnants of forgotten architecture, Santos invites viewers to find meaning in what endures and what fades.
