The escape

For the 2024 edition of ‘Le Voyage à Nantes’ Cyril Pedrosa has liberated the four caryatids of the Wallace fountain in four progressive steps. First two caryatids have lowered their arms and can now do something else, like watering seedlings, while the other two manage to hold the dome up in the air. Then the seedlings have grown into trees that support the dome and all four caryatids are climbing on top of it. From there they have a good view of the world around them. Would they really dare escape from the task to which they were condemned for life? Yes they do.
Finally they take the step to freedom and go out into the world.
