Couple 2 (Ancestral Echoes)

This paired sculptural work stages a quiet dialogue between two vertical presences, where polished black planes slip into raw, weathered stone as if memory itself were breaking through a refined exterior. The compressed, mask-like faces and stacked geometries create a tension between monumentality and vulnerability, with the taller form carrying the weight of time while the smaller figure feels newly emergent, almost tentative. Set on contrasting bases—warm, earthen tiers against cool, clinical white—the piece frames identity as something built, eroded, and continually rebalanced between origin and aspiration.
