Hidden In My Life 7 (Contemplation)

This paired sculptural form stages a quiet dialogue between presence and concealment: two crouched bodies, carved in warm, bruised wood tones, are partially veiled by a textured vertical band that reads like both armor and restraint. The composition hinges on compression—mass pulled inward, limbs folded tight—so that negative space becomes psychological space, a breath held between exposure and self-protection. Fine protruding pins crown the figures with a fragile, almost ritual menace, transforming the tender curvature of flesh into a site of vigilance and endurance. In their mirrored separation, the works suggest twin states of being—solitude and reflection—where identity is felt most sharply at the edge of what cannot be fully shown.
