Crafted entirely from hand-bent iron wire, this ethereal sculpture reimagines the angelic form as a symbol of meditative grace and spiritual ascent. With hands held in a posture of prayer and wings gracefully arched around the body, this figure stands not just as an artwork, but as an invocation of stillness and strength.
The wirework is intricate and expressive- every curve and coil suggesting both tension and transcendence. The human form is abstracted yet deeply emotive, with elongated proportions and a faceless head, allowing the viewer to project their own sense of emotion, presence, and identity onto the piece.
The figure’s legs taper into delicacy, while its upright posture and closed palms reflect a gesture of humility and reverence—perhaps a prayer, a moment of silence, or a celestial greeting.
What gives this sculpture its transcendent character are the wings: wide, stylized, and airy, crafted from the same medium yet given a lighter, almost haloed structure. They rise and arc in luminous symmetry, creating a sense of protective embrace or imminent flight, as if the figure is both grounded and becoming air.
