Dr.Gindi sculptor, has a philosophical conversation with Richard Baron about sensation, life, infinity and, you guessed it, sculpture.

Her bronzes are an invitation to the viewer to rethink their relationship to the world. We see a person, a face, a hand, but we know that there is more to grasp, something that's captured by a tension between what's there in the bronze and what is not there. Through this, Dr. Gindi wants to lead us into an infinite range of possibilities, and thereby make us reflecton the fact that life too is full of possibilities.

Dr. Gindi, your work is characterized by an inquiry into the human condition. As a philosopher-sculptor, you seek to usher us closer to finding our place in the universe. What are we searching for? And why?

There's an awe-inspiring freedom in recognizing the choice to transform what's in front of us. Every individual has the profound opportunity to shape their own journey. In my art, I strive to reflect both the freedom and the responsibility gifted to us: How do we make sense of this momentous choice, the long search, and the sacred journey that we're on? We often believe wholeheartedly that if we achieve something we desire, then something even more significant will come beyond the thing itself. Part of the way we live our lives is striving for these particularities; indeed, it's part of the human condition. But there's also an oftignored part of our existence which exerts a gravitational pull that's just as strong: a desire for belonging, for peace with oneself and one's surroundings, accompanied by the ability to stand at the precipice beholding the big picture.

But to what extent do we have the choice to transform the universe we're thrown into? And how does that search manifest itself in your sculptural work?
