The Open Window (Reclining Figures Sculpture)

This sculptural tableau stages a solitary body in repose atop a domed, map-like ground whose surface is scored with doorways and facades, turning architecture into a textured skin beneath the figure. The low, raking light catches the bronze’s bruised patina, sharpening the contrast between the softened contours of flesh and the insistent relief of built forms, as though private rest must negotiate the pressure of the constructed world. Reclining at the summit like a quiet cartographer of experience, the figure suggests both surrender and dominion—an intimate pause set against a city that feels simultaneously sheltering and inescapable. The circular base reads as a miniature planet of habitation, implying that our interiors are never fully separate from the structures that hold—and haunt—our daily lives.
