Family Secrets 2006

"Family Secrets" is a 2006 bas-relief sculpture by Kerry O. Furlani, crafted in slate. The work depicts a stylized, almost abstract female figure kneeling, her hands pressed against her chest. The figure's head is tilted down, her face obscured, suggesting a sense of introspective secrecy. The textured surface of the slate, combined with the deep carving, adds a sense of depth and complexity to the piece. Furlani's sculptures are often characterized by their simplified forms and evocative themes, inviting viewers to contemplate the hidden narratives within.
