Silent March

Silent March by Manuel Sarmiento is a poetic tribute to wildlife and resilience, forged entirely from recycled metal. This sculptural vignette captures a quiet procession of elephants beneath sparse, windswept trees — a scene that feels both intimate and vast. Each silhouette is cut and assembled with precision, the layered forms casting shadows that shift with the light, evoking a living savanna.
The raw, matte-black finish retains the honest texture of repurposed metal, lending the piece both weight and history. Its flat base provides stability while also grounding the composition like a stage. From a distance, it reads as minimal and graphic; up close, the intricacies of the handwork become evident. A reflection on nature, memory, and sustainability — Silent March is more than a decorative piece; it’s a quiet statement.
