Enrico David
Sleepwalker: Honouring the Tired
Enrico David (b. 1966, Ancona, Italy) lives and works in London, United Kingdom.
Sleepwalker: Honouring the Tired is a tall sculpture of a folded figure with a glowing onyx face, paired with a second figure leaning at its base. The contrast between light and shadow emphasizes a moment of rest and support. The project serves as a quiet monument to exhaustion, reflecting the physical and emotional weariness caused by the relentless pace of life in New York City.
