"Les Trois Triste, 2021" by Reynold Rodriguez is an evocative exploration of personal happiness within the collective human experience, exemplified by a trio of lamps originally inspired by "The Saddest Lamp in the World." The title alludes to the interconnected narrative of these lamps, symbolising a community of emotional states. Two lamps radiate vitality, while one remains the embodiment of melancholy. Rodriguez employs this dynamic composition to dissect the dichotomy between individual well-being and the shared emotional landscape. The artwork serves as a crucial chapter in the artist's ongoing experiment with plaster, showcasing its versatile capacity across varying scales. The material becomes a medium for conveying amorphic sentiments, mirroring the fluid nature of emotions within the interconnected web of human experience. "Les Trois Triste, 2021" stands as a poignant reflection on the complex interplay between personal and collective emotional well-being.
