Did you ever feel the exact moment just before you fell asleep?
Even when you didn’t want to sleep at all, every time nodding your head back up?
This young man tried very hard to stay awake but luckily for Helga he failed…

This sculpture resembles a rough diamond that has not been fully cut and polished. The irregularities and texture on the surface give it a sense of authenticity and raw beauty. The subtle details, such as the sharp lines of the jaw and the soft curves of the lips, capture the essence of human expression in a moment of stillness. The yellow hue of the material exudes warmth, while the black pedestal provides a contrast that makes the head rise like a monument of subdued strength. This sculpture radiates a sense of timeless elegance and depth, inviting the viewer to explore the complexity and diversity of the human spirit.

The head is made of orange pigmented plasticrete, a synthetic plaster. The bluestone base is connected to the head with an iron bar.
