Village Play 3 (Stiltwalkers)

This intimate bronze tableau suspends three figures in a precarious choreography, their bodies fused into a single knot of reliance while slender poles act as both prosthesis and boundary. The dark, weathered surface—punctuated by flashes of warm gold—catches light like memory on worn skin, turning hardship into a quiet kind of radiance. Compositionally, the triangular cluster compresses space and amplifies tension: each limb leans outward, yet the group’s shared center holds, suggesting that balance is not an individual achievement but a negotiated, collective act. The work reads as a meditation on endurance and companionship, where support structures are visible, imperfect, and nonetheless sacred.
