The sculpture captures a moment of controlled intimacy, where softness is not sentimental but deliberate, and care is held rather than expressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmerging from Ejlerskov’s ongoing investigation into the biological and cultural mechanics of love, the work frames oxytocin not as romance, but as structure. The lowered gaze and composed facial expression suggest regulation and self-possession, while the shield-like extension from the neck introduces a physical boundary—protection as a necessary counterpart to connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEjlerskov’s practice consistently examines the tension between attachment and survival. In The Cast Soft Gaze, this tension is formalized through contrast: smooth, serene facial planes against the assertive sculptural extension and the weight of the onyx block. The goddess figure becomes a stabilizing force—quiet, authoritative, and intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sculpture invites a reconsideration of care as something guarded and intentional rather than freely given. Existing in a limited edition of 50, The Cast Soft Gaze is a work for collectors attuned to conceptual clarity, material precision, and a contemporary rethinking of myth through biology and form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLead time: 8-10 weeks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ditte Ejlerskov","offers":[{"title":"Copper Nitrate Patina","offer_id":56038541754747,"sku":null,"price":28000.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Enamel Airbrushed","offer_id":56038541656443,"sku":null,"price":28000.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cupric Chloride Patina","offer_id":56038541689211,"sku":null,"price":28000.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Polished","offer_id":56038541721979,"sku":null,"price":28000.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand painted white enamel","offer_id":56038541787515,"sku":null,"price":28000.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0908\/0409\/3307\/files\/DITTEEJLERKSKOVTheCastSoftGaze_bronze_editionof50_herewithcoppernitratepatina_waxedandmountedonmarbleblock_44x13x24cm_2024.jpg?v=1768475454","url":"https:\/\/editionsolenne.com\/products\/the-cast-soft-gaze","provider":"Edition Solenne","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
