Argos
Listen to the description
This work refers to the relationship between a man and his dog. Argos, Odysseus’ dog, is the only one who recognized him although the man was disguised as a beggar. The moment the old dog (being 20 years old)saw him, it passed away as if it had been waiting for his master to return for so long.
This is the first written report about the relationship between a man and his dog.
Looking at the sculpture, the pieces which form the appearance of a human have been put in the back part while in the front part of the project there are two copper circles which symbolize their common characteristic, the emotions ( which are internal ). That’s why there is a gap in the bodies. The copper is used to emphasize on this common feature compared to the other characteristics which are external.
