This bronze figure compresses the human body into a single, rising column of flesh and breath, where the lifted arms form an enclosing arc that reads as both shelter and self-erasure. The greened patina catches light like weathered skin, softening contours while letting small dimples and bruised textures speak of time, memory, and touch. Anchored by a compact, folded base, the pose holds a quiet tension between vulnerability and containment, suggesting an inward ritualβan intimate moment of becoming held within oneβs own embrace.
