Untitled 5 (Emergent Forms)

This sculptural form rises like a charred trunk split into pleated ribs, its stratified surface reading as both wound and armor—time compressed into tactile geology. From above, the figure opens into a starburst of fractured “petals” around a dark central throat, a void that pulls the eye inward even as the jagged spokes radiate outward. The restrained palette of ash greys and iron browns turns light into a diagnostic tool, grazing each ridge to emphasize endurance, rupture, and renewal. It feels simultaneously botanical and industrial, as if growth has been forged through fire and memory rather than nurtured by ease.
