LE GUELAFF Laetitia-May

Laetitia-May Le Guelaff's sculpture explores the profound ties that unite human beings with the animal world. Whether it is a wolf, a raven, a bear, or a hybrid figure, each of her creations questions what remains instinctive, fragile, and universal within us.

Her work does not seek a naturalistic representation. It focuses above all on revealing a presence. The volumes are born from a free modeling process where traces of the hand remain visible, giving the material an almost organic vibration. Stoneware, metal, or composite materials become an extension of emotion rather than technical demonstration.

Her sculptures evolve between realism and evocation. Some seem to emerge from the material, others appear to dissolve into it, as if captured in a moment of metamorphosis. This constant tension between appearance and disappearance lends her work a singular strength.

Facing her creations, the visitor does not merely contemplate an animal or a sculpted form. They are invited to recognize a familiar emotion: protection, trust, fear, tenderness, resilience, or even freedom.

Each sculpture becomes a meeting space where the boundaries between human and animal fade to make way for a sensitive reflection on our relationship with the living world
