Rhythm 9 (Playtime)

This sculptural tableau turns a gnarled, branch-like body into a slow-moving vessel, its elongated legs reading as both roots and limbs—nature reimagined as passage. Perched atop, two small figures enact an intimate rite of care, their gestures softened against the work’s tensile, insectile silhouette, as if tenderness were the only stable architecture. The oxidized green patina carries the quiet authority of time, suggesting that connection persists not despite precarious terrain, but because of it—an allegory of companionship navigating the strange organism of the world.
