Screwed Up (Nurturing Spirit)

This sculptural object stages a quiet theatre of authority and memory: gilded, bearded visages rise like relics from a dark wooden ground, their spiral shafts suggesting both ceremonial scepters and the slow torsion of time. The warm metallic sheen catches the light as if to canonize these fragments, yet their partial emergence and clustered tension imply a council caught between speech and silence. Wood and gold converse in a restrained chiaroscuro—earthbound solidity below, mythic brilliance above—hinting at how tradition is both anchored and continually re-forged.
