Poised precariously on the edge of a dark pedestal, this evocative sculpture captures the raw tension between weight and will, struggle and stillness. Crafted from coiled iron wire, the human figure appears at once fragile and unyielding, suspended mid-movement with a massive block strapped to its back, bound tightly with ropes that tug from all directions.
The entire composition is a study in contrast: the lightness of wire against the heaviness of stone, the upward stretch of limbs against the oppressive downward drag of burden. Yet despite the overwhelming load, the figure does not collapse—it balances on one foot, arms pulled taut, posture defiant.
It is a moment suspended in time, charged with existential energy—a silent scream of perseverance, a meditation on what it means to carry weight and still move.
The cube on its back, textured and stark, evokes all forms of invisible weight: emotional, societal, and generational. The wirework body, though faceless and abstract, radiates with a universal human vulnerability. Its dynamic pose, almost dancing in defiance of gravity, becomes a powerful metaphor for resilience.
