Procreation (Abstract Wood Sculpture)

This sculptural form distills the idea of a vessel into a paradox: a circular body that promises containment while its hollow center insists on absence, turning volume into a meditation on what cannot be held. The burnished, coppery skin catches light in soft, wandering highlights, as if time itself has oxidized the surface into memory, while the central spike introduces a quiet violence—an axis that both anchors and threatens to pierce the ring’s serenity. Balanced on a stark plinth, the work reads like a ceremonial object from an invented culture, poised between tool and talisman, where circular continuity is continually interrupted by the insistence of a singular point.
