De sterren plukken by Belgian sculptor Lieven d'haese depicts a slender standing figure holding a star in one hand while raising another high above its head. The gesture refers to the Dutch expression “de sterren plukken” — literally to pick the stars — a poetic metaphor for reaching beyond limits and pursuing one’s aspirations.
By presenting a figure that already holds one star while reaching for another, the sculpture suggests an ongoing journey rather than a distant dream: ambition paired with achievement, imagination combined with persistence.
With its elongated proportions and textured bronze surface, the figure embodies both fragility and determination. Typical of Lieven d’haese’s work, the sculpture conveys a quiet and universal sense of hope, inviting viewers to reflect on the human desire to continue reaching further, even after success.
