Torso

This polished wooden sculpture distills the human torso into a single, swelling curve, where absence becomes as articulate as mass and the hollowed interior reads like a held breath. Light glides across the amber surface, pooling on the sternum and softening into shadow along the cavity, so that solidity feels tender—nearly bodily—rather than monumental. The paired forms, one large and one small, suggest an intimate continuum of self and offspring, or memory and echo, binding vulnerability to resilience through the same enclosing gesture. Its sensual simplification turns figuration into a meditation on shelter: a body shaped as a vessel, and a vessel shaped as longing.
