The title “His Master’s Voice” was taken from the old RCA phonographic horn players, with the dog listening patiently nearby.  This work is about communications, and the artist’s attempt to integrate back to French society (after a seven-year residency in Vietnam.)  Here figure is used as a representation of the human body, and per the French definition, the human face.  The artist is hinting at a separation of the body from the spirit- A core theme in many of Leroux’s works.
