He couldn’t
decide
If he wanted to
preserve
Her essence in
profile
Or if it would
be more interesting
If the viewer
experienced her
From the front
With her
looking directly
At the observer
With an
unwavering gaze
In her eyes
Seductive and
alluring
Which
perspective would imply
A greater sense
of ambiguity
A stronger
feeling of motion
He wondered
As he walked
around her
Examining
The supple
lines of her torso
The delicate
features of her face
The gentle
slope of her shoulders
He also felt
torn
About the
material he wanted to use
Bronze is an
option
Then again
Marble would
present
More of a
challenge
It would also
communicate
A greater sense
of depth
And spatial
complexity
It would be
A rather
interesting contrast
Such exquisite
softness and beauty
Combined
With the
classical solidity of stone
He looked at
her
From every
point of view
Up close and at
a distance
As he tried to
decide
How he wanted
to proceed
She was
stunning
He couldn’t
believe his eyes
He had never
seen a woman
Like her before
Her shape was
extraordinary
From every
point of view
She was
flawless
He had finally
found the model
That would
allow him to express
What he has
felt
For so many
years
She had a quiet
beauty
A frailty
And he wanted
to capture it
As best he
could
Before time
destroys it
And makes it
mundane
He also wanted
To do something
Different and
unique
With this piece
Something
He hasn’t done
before
Something
That will make
it special
And set it
apart
From his
previous work
Most of all he
wanted
The piece to
convey
A feeling of
movement
A suggestion
That viewers
would finish
In their own
minds
