My Hero (Cement) celebrates the quiet, everyday heroism found in family bonds, where protection, guidance, and imagination intertwine. In this cement and bronze relief, Kaï captures the tenderness of admiration between a parent and child. Against a textured cement surface animated by vibrant layers of blue, pink, yellow, and orange, the figures take center stage.
The white parent figure gently holds the child’s hand while the bronze silhouette of the child points upward—toward a flying hero figure. The contrast between the grounded figures and the dreamlike graffiti motif highlights the way children project their hopes, fantasies, and sense of heroism onto the people they trust most.
