Ballon With Girl

A diminutive bronze figure anchors the composition with an outstretched, almost celebratory stance, yet her real tether is the impossibly elongated stem that lifts a mirrored orb into the air like a captive moon. The polished sphere collapses the surrounding world into a curved, anonymous panorama, turning the viewer and environment into a fleeting reflection—presence made weightless and unstable. Set against the quiet, wrinkled neutrality of the backdrop, the work stages a poignant tension between grounded body and drifting image, suggesting how aspiration can both elevate and estrange us from the immediacy of lived space.
