Hybrid 1 (Hybrid Forms)

This sculptural pair reads as a study in bodily vulnerability disguised as abundance: two swollen, seedlike forms whose lacquered brown skin catches light like living tissue, inviting touch while resisting it. From each crown erupts a thicket of hollow tubes—part stamen, part antenna, part wound—turning fertility into something engineered and faintly precarious. The asymmetry between the two volumes creates a quiet dialogue of companion pieces, where weight and sheen suggest ripeness while the punctured tops introduce an uneasy sense of extraction, as if growth and depletion coexist in the same breath. In its restrained palette and taut surfaces, the work meditates on how nature’s promise can be reshaped into artifact, and how intimacy can tip into estrangement.
