Hoja reformada is one of Viviane Brickmanne's works where two of her most frequent iconographies can be appreciated, the leaf in relation to her sculptural reflection on nature and the brick that in this particular case appears in a fragmented way as part of the base. He has worked with different techniques among which bronze stands out. Aluminum and brick where sometimes he usually incorporates leaves or pomegranates in decomposition. Thus counterposing an organic element with a manufactured one, and in turn the concept of the feminine with the masculine.
