Background
Wilsis is on permanent display in the Yorkshire sculpture Park. This is their description
"Jaume Plensa: Wilsis
Wilsis belongs to a series of portrait heads by Jaume Plensa, depicting young girls from around the world, with their eyes closed in a dreamlike state of contemplation. At over seven meters high, the work transforms the ordinary into something extraordinary.
Wilsis is a fascinating exploration of perspective through the flattening of form, an idea that grew out of Plensa’s desire to understand what happens on 'the other side',.......... From the front the head appears realistic, yet from the side it is an extremely flattened relief. Viewing the work at YSP represents a journey of discovery, first glimpsed in a beautiful setting across the lake, and revealed fully as you walk around the landscape to discover it more closely."
The other side - nested structured duality - the spiritual, function and form
