Tête au carré (Square Head)

Tête au carré — French for Square Head — is a public sculpture in Boca Raton that brings a touch of European conceptual wit to South Florida's outdoor art scene. The piece playfully distorts the human head into geometric form, turning something organic and familiar into something architectural and strange, inviting you to think differently about identity, perception, and the shapes we use to represent ourselves. The work shares a name with Jean-Michel Folon's famous sculpture in Monaco, and the concept has wide resonance in contemporary art. In Boca Raton's civic landscape, Square Head stands out as a piece that earns smiles and questions in equal measure — both excellent things for public art to accomplish.
