This fractured statue 'Le Réveil / Galetea' was at first illustrated from the front, despite the back being more dynamic, the visual connection of a face was still more appealing. Until the realization that by shattering the statue in a particular way it would allow the image to show the back of the figure and her face at the same time and still make sense visually. This approach to destroying the statues creates a narrative beyond senseless shatters, it tells its own story between the rubble.
