Bust of Larbi Ben Mhidi – A Symbol of Courage and Sacrifice

Larbi Ben Mhidi — Sculptural Bust

This bust depicts Larbi Ben Mhidi, a central figure of the Algerian War of Independence, represented with restraint and dignity rather than dramatization. The sculpture emphasizes composure, resolve, and presence — qualities that defined his role in the revolutionary movement.

The focus is on form and expression, avoiding symbolism in favor of a calm, enduring portrayal.

Intent

This work is conceived as an object of memory.

Ben Mhidi’s life and death are inseparable from the broader history of Algeria’s struggle for independence. Rather than narrating that history, the sculpture marks it — allowing the presence of the figure to speak through material and form.

Suitable for collectors, historians, and those who value historical remembrance expressed through sculpture rather than rhetoric.
