This sculpture stands like a cipher- a form that feels symbolic without revealing its meaning too easily. Its silhouette rises through a series of swelling curves, each volume tapering into the next, creating a figure that is both grounded and subtly in motion. The polished black stone amplifies this effect: light glides across its surface, making the form seem to breathe as the viewer moves around it.
Two contrasting textures define its character. The glossy exterior suggests refinement and deliberation, while the carved matte recesses introduce an inner terrain- a leaf-like motif on the lower half and a petal-shaped indentation on the upper torso. These internal shapes break the smoothness with intention, hinting at layers beneath the surface, like thoughts or energies contained within a body.
The slight tilt of the upper section, crowned by a rounded head-like form set off by a shallow collar, brings an anthropomorphic presence. It does not read as a literal figure but as an abstracted essence of one- a distilled gesture of contemplation or inward attention.
What emerges overall is a sculpture that plays with dualities: outer sheen and inner grain, expansion and narrowing, movement and stillness. The result is a form that feels like a vessel for something unseen- a reservoir of emotion, memory, or potential, held in the restrained elegance of stone.
