Couple (Together Forever)

This intimate sculptural tableau stages two elongated, mask-like faces rising from a boat-shaped vessel, as though shared memory and companionship are being carried across a quiet inner sea. The warm gold patina catches light like burnished relics, while the coral-red hull—scored with horizontal striations—anchors the piece in tactile, lived time rather than polished perfection. Delicate, perforated tree-forms surround the figures as a protective chorus of nature, and the small stitched seam climbing the bowl reads as a tender act of repair: a visible mending that turns fracture into narrative. Balanced between folk simplicity and symbolic density, the work proposes belonging not as certainty, but as something patiently held and continually restored.
