I, You, She or He is a sculpture created by Jaume Plensa of 3 non-descript figures perched on stones. Plensa's sculptures are crafted from metal typography but are shaped in such a way that the typographical elements can be overshadowed by the human form it creates. This use of material creates a semi-transparency to the figures which implies a ghostly feel to the figures. Also the way in which the light is reflected from the metal helps define the form and gives the impression of a human figure. The setting of this peice is also vital to the message of the sculpture and gives it a serene, calm picturesce feel.
The words in the type enveloping the characters are linked to the specific figures Plensa portrays, or the area in which the sculpture is located.
