Mummy I Am Growing (Balancing Act)

This sculptural figure folds into itself like a suspended thought, its glossy orange surface turning the body into a single continuous gesture of retreat and resilience. Speckled accents puncture the lacquered skin, suggesting lived experience—small disruptions that animate an otherwise seamless, toy-like perfection. The swollen, two-toned orb below acts as both anchor and burden, an unstable pedestal that makes the curled form feel perpetually on the verge of tipping, as if vulnerability is held aloft by precarious balance. In its playful finish and intimate posture, the work stages a quiet conflict between public sheen and private interiority.
