The Roar and Peace of Escif’s “Two Doves, One Branch” at Fallas 2024


Source Juxtapoz Magazine – Juxtapoz Magazine – Home 

In front of the Ajuntament de València and to the left of the Font de la Plaça de l’Ajuntament in one of València’s main city squares, stand two white doves, symbols of peace, fighting over, or carrying, what appears to be an olive branch to the skies above. Or brought down to earth? Or are the birds being held down by these multi-storied wooden structures they are bound to, caged and unable to escape? Surrounding this struggle are a series of cartoonish, pop-cultural, political and universally-reflective sculptures, slightly larger-than-life but not quite so intimidating.
