Friends (Divided Self)

This sculptural head, split into opposing profiles, stages identity as a dialogue rather than a single, settled truth—two presences sharing one skull yet looking away from each other. The burnished metallic skin, mottled with teal and ochre patina, turns light into a living weather system, suggesting memory accreting like oxidation across time. Its central seam reads as both wound and threshold, a quiet architecture of the psyche where division becomes the very condition of wholeness. Poised on a grounded base, the work feels at once relic and mirror, inviting the viewer to inhabit the tension between public face and private self.
