This small sculpture with a great sophistication represents a man who is concentrating on a dice game.
He is astonished, filled with wonder faced with this phenomenon that the Arabs have called "az-zahr" since the 12th century (hazard – chance).
Chance is simultaneously familiar and mysterious for human beings, who are fascinated by its random nature.
Here the artist deals with the limits of humans, who cannot explain everything, know everything; with the magic that exists in this world, and with the need that human beings have to beseech fate through the game.
Isabel Miramontes gives us her ironic vision of the world today, her character resists.
