Italian term or phrase: autosostenersi
Bonsoir à tous,

je traduis un texte qui présente un sculpteur mais je bloque sur le terme "autosostenersi" dans la phrase suivante :

"Le mie sculture sono pensate e realizzate in bronzo in quanto materiale in grado di autosostenersi
e supportare gli azzardi d'equilibrio che sedimento."

J'ai traduit cela par "en mesure de s'auto-soutenir". Pas génial, génial...
Auriez-vous d'autres suggestions un peu plus poétiques ? :)

Merci d'avance pour vos suggestions !

agree  Frédérique Jouannet: j'allais le suggérer moi-même. Phrase suggérée (cf. ma proposition pour "sedimento") : "Mes sculptures sont conçues et réalisées en bronze, en tant que matériau autoporteur et en mesure de soutenir les superpositions hasardeuses que j'expérimente."
