For our inaugural fabrication project under Solidify Vision, we managed the complete technical realization of “Boy with Bird” (2026), an exclusive limited bronze edition by the acclaimed artist duo Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset.

The sculpture portrays a sensitive moment of empathy and vulnerability: a young boy in boots holding a fragile bird, confronting mortality for the first time.

To translate the intricate digital model into physical bronze at a height of 26 cm without any loss of dimensional precision or subtle details, Solidify Vision employed advanced 3D metal printing via Selective Laser Melting (SLM) in high-purity CuSn10 bronze. Following the printing process, each piece was meticulously hand-finished and patinated to realize two distinct expressions: a deep, classic Black Bronze and a pristine lacquered White Bronze.
