# Élan Élan, a 28 cm demonstration bronze sculpture: history, declared provenance, documents and example NFT metadata for MAT-001. - Canonical page: https://atelier.aroa.blue/en/objects/elan/ - Language: en - Object reference: MAT-001 - Category: Sculpture - Fictional demonstration object: true > Fictional demonstration object; generated image and illustrative specifications. ## Description and history The idea behind **Élan** is simple: imagine a small sculpture with the presence of a larger piece. An open form lets light pass through, while its curved surface catches warm highlights. The dark patina and restrained base leave room for the gesture. Seen from different angles, the silhouette would shift between a loop and a ribbon. This is a **fictional design study**. Dimensions, materials and story describe the imagined object; they are not an appraisal or a certificate. ## A distinct identity for this piece **MAT-001** identifies this page. It is separate from **DEMO-MAT-001**, a demonstration NFT reference without a token minted on a blockchain. The example NFC link opens this dossier directly. ## Read the documents before checking The descriptive dossier brings together the declared characteristics, visual origin and original file fingerprint. The NFT metadata contains the name, image, attributes and address of this page. These files can be read separately; they are not a signature or certificate. ## Three views of the form The overall view shows the relationship between the open loop and its base. The second perspective reveals ribbon thickness and surfaces turning towards the light. The close-up focuses on the patina and golden edge, the imagined finishing details of this study. These three images are generated views. They demonstrate a complete presentation without being provenance photographs or a bronze appraisal. ## Declared characteristics - **Material**: Patinated bronze - **Imagined height**: 28 cm - **Finish**: Dark patina, golden highlights - **Collection**: Material studies ## Provenance Provenance is described separately from the digital association.
