The first story I was enchanted by as a child was the story of Moses. I was 7 years old and still long for those summer days when I heard about Moses and projected his adventures in our still unpaved schoolyard. Later on, Michelangelo’s impresion of Moses also had a huge impact on me, so I was very happy that Moses was finally emerging from my own fingers.
Rawness of that sculpture for me, enhances the autonomous power of this Iconic figure.
