Captivity (Ildefonso Marcelo)

_MG_9601

Born in 1941, Ildefonso Marcelo is known for using blocks of stone in creating figures that connote strength and permanence. Owing to this medium, his works are usually massive and closed, making them as if they were part of the environment.  Captivity is a figure of a man with hands bound behind his back, his body twisted and head bowed down.  Made of concrete and adobe, this figure is found along the University Avenue.
