Some little girls dream of taking care of a horse. But for Louise, it's an elephant! Dream or reality? Just an image of tenderness.
One of my emblematic sculptures made in small format for the pleasure of holding it in the hand.

Sophie Verger is a fairy who knows how to transform an emotion into an animal, a sensation, a felling in a recollected memory. She also suggests to us with a lot of humor a lovable identification with the animal model and beyond this observation the fact that in all her work, the child alone has its place with her, spontaneously capable of including the existence of the animal in her own fundamental values.
Sophie Verger plays with the pure reason of the look and lies the opposition of her interpretation.
Beyond anthropomorphism there is also, often, the notion of games. With animal representations worthy of Pompon but going beyond a simple realistic look, Sophie Verger sculpts poems, whole tales in one piece...
