Romanian Symbols – Brâncuși’s Prayer – Silence That Speaks - Romania Osaka Expo 2025

Constantin Brâncuși, one of the greatest sculptors in history, transformed stone into a universal language of essence. The Prayer, one of his most intimate and introspective works, captures a moment of profound meditation.

Without unnecessary details, without embellishments, just a kneeling silhouette with bowed head and clasped hands, this sculpture conveys more than an image – it conveys a state, a pure emotion. It is the symbol of silent faith, introspection, and the bond between humans and the divine. In its raw yet deeply meaningful form, The Prayer by Brâncuși speaks of humility, of the silence that heals, and of the invisible strength of the human spirit.

Reproduced in salt in the area dedicated to arts and crafts, this sculpture becomes even more ephemeral, highlighting the passage of time but also the permanence of human emotions and experiences.
