Cheered Up

This bronze tableau suspends a couple in a buoyant, almost theatrical stride, their elongated limbs stretching into space like exclamation marks of shared momentum. The warm patina of the figures—sunlit and human—contrasts with the cooler, thorned arc beneath them, as if tenderness must always negotiate a harsher terrain. Compositionally, their mirrored gestures create a quiet counterbalance between invitation and release, turning the surrounding branch-like forms into both witnesses and obstacles. The work reads as a metaphor for partnership: not a static embrace, but a daring choreography performed on the narrow rim between security and risk.
