I Am She (Bronze Torso)

This bas-relief figure emerges as if coaxed from stone, where a softly burnished face and torso are held in tension against a rough, weathered perimeter that reads like memory calcifying into matter. The downward tilt of the head and closed eyes conjure an inward sanctuary—an intimate silence—while the cool metallic sheen catches light like breath, giving the body a tender, living volatility. Composed as a suspended bust without arms, the work turns absence into eloquence, suggesting resilience and self-possession formed through erosion, time, and quiet endurance.
