There is a quiet yearning in this marble figure- a posture that seems to rise from within rather than reach outward. The head tilts toward the heavens, lips gently parted as though releasing a note too soft to hear yet impossible not to sense. This is not a voice raised in proclamation; it is a private hymn offered to the sky.
The sculptor shapes the torso with sharply faceted planes, grounding the figure in an angular, earthly geometry. But the face transitions into soft, fluid contours, carrying the eye upward along the elegant curve of the neck. This shift from angularity to smoothness creates a subtle metaphor: the movement from heaviness to lightness, from the defined to the transcendent.
The marble itself carries delicate veins of grey and gold, like faint currents of wind moving across stone. They soften the solidity of the figure, giving it an inner luminosity- as if the stone remembers the mountains and clouds that shaped it. In this interplay of mass and breath, form and aspiration, the sculpture embodies the moment when an inner emotion becomes outward expression.
“Song for the Skies” becomes a visual poem on longing: the human urge to rise beyond the self, to offer something of our inner world to a vast and listening expanse. It is a portrait of quiet courage- the courage to lift one’s face toward possibility and let one’s truth ascend.
