n this group of plaster self-portraits, the artist analyzes himself, and his personal confrontation with the fragility of existence, where the sense of vulnerability is further emphasized. The plaster torsos sit on top of columns in a state of precariousness. The sculptures of the busts are scaled to be Renoux’s exact height. And the columns are a direct reference to particular stones found in the subsoils surrounding Rencoux’s childhood home. This, in essence, sets up an interesting dialogue between an unwavering foundation cemented in childhood with a more fragile, ever-changing present. Each torso is broken in different parts, and yet when seen from specific angles, the torsos merge, becoming one while still simulaneously appearing incomplete.
