"In my world, there's always play, a connection between the little ones and the grown-ups. Adults try, for the duration of an acrobatic feat, to rediscover their inner child.

It's all about balance, knowing everyone's place, helping, sharing, and putting on the most beautiful show!"

- Sophie VERGER

A Family of Acrobats by Sophie Verger is a celebration of joy, balance, and the invisible threads that bind us together.

At first glance, the scene feels playful — almost childlike. A family of elephants engages in an improbable balancing act, lifting one another, reaching upward, trusting completely. But beyond this lightness lies something deeply moving: a metaphor for support, transmission, and love.

Each figure depends on the other. The strength of the base allows the elevation of the smallest. The smallest, in turn, completes the movement, reaching toward something beyond. It is a choreography of trust — where balance is not achieved alone, but together.

Sophie Verger brings her signature sensitivity to this piece. The textured surface, alive with subtle irregularities, gives the sculpture warmth and authenticity. These are not distant or idealized forms — they are alive, intimate, almost familiar.
What makes this work so powerful is its dual nature: it speaks with simplicity, yet carries profound meaning. It reminds us that growth, elevation, and even lightness are made possible through connection.

Placed in an interior, A Family of Acrobats becomes more than a sculpture — it becomes a story. A source of joy, of reflection, of daily inspiration. Its vertical movement naturally draws the eye upward, bringing energy and dynamism into the space.

For a collector, this is a piece that resonates deeply over time. One that evolves emotionally, just as the relationships it symbolizes.
