The Mob (Council of Spirits)

This wooden assemblage gathers carved, totem-like blocks into a dense civic circle, as if a community of silent witnesses has been called into council. The warm grain and chiseled striations act like a living patina, catching daylight across ridges and hollows so that each “face” seems to emerge, recede, and reappear with shifting attention. Set upon a rough-hewn bench structure, the piece balances ritual gravity with humble craft, suggesting how collective memory is built from individual marks, weathering, and touch. The open lawn around it becomes a kind of negative space altar—an everyday field turned stage for ancestry, dialogue, and shared presence.
