Tides - Emil Alzamora
Tides is a bronze sculpture by Emil Alzamora that embodies the themes of family, love, and connection with nature. Inspired by the calm waves and reflections of the Hudson River, the smooth, flowing forms of the sculpture evoke a sense of timeless relaxation and contentment. The piece, which represents a family of three—mother, father, and child—gazing towards the Hudson, invites viewers to join them in a moment of serene observation. Created in 2013, Tides is a lasting tribute to the enduring bond between people and the natural world. Alzamora, known for his innovative approaches to the human figure, crafted the sculpture using steel, foam, plaster, and bronze, with a distinctive black patina finish. His work, deeply rooted in the Hudson Valley, reflects his fascination with the physical and emotional aspects of the human form.
