This sculpture captures a figure poised within a sweeping marble arc, a gesture that echoes the stance of a surfer balanced on a rising wave. Yet beyond the athletic grace lies something more inward: the human form engages not with water, but with an abstract curve that seems to represent the continuous flow of life itself.
The figure, carved with gentle simplicity, leans into the arc as though learning its rhythm. The entire composition suggests a moment of trust, where one must align with a force larger than oneself rather than attempt to resist it.
The curve, rising from the base and narrowing to a fine point, becomes a metaphor for the unpredictable trajectory of existence. Its smooth surface and organic sweep evoke the many shapes life takes as it unfolds. In placing the figure within this arc, the artist presents an idea central to many philosophical traditions: harmony arises not from control, but from attunement. When the self-moves with the current rather than against it, even challenges become pathways toward balance.
The marble, with its subtle veins of gold and grey, reinforces this theme. These natural patterns reflect the quiet complexity that lies beneath seemingly simple forms. The sculpture becomes a study of how the human spirit navigates change- not by overpowering it, but by learning to ride its curve with a combination of humility, awareness, and inner steadiness.
“Riding the Curve” is an exploration of coexistence between self and motion, suggesting that the art of living lies in finding poise within the continual flow.
