LeoDaVinciWave(@LeoDaVinciWave):Carolein Smit’s sculpture makes sadness look almost too beautiful. The detail that stayed with me is the tears: instead of simply running down the face, they become a cascade of glossy ceramic forms, turning an intimate emotion into something almost ornamental. That tension feels very Baroque—grief presented with theatrical beauty, but pushed so far that it starts to feel unsettling. It’s hard to tell where the beauty ends and the sorrow begins.
