This compelling brass sculpture captures a human form suspended in a moment of profound transition. The figure, woven from strands of metal that twist and taper, appears both held together and on the verge of coming apart, as though identity itself were a fabric constantly forming, shedding, and reforming.
Viewers may first notice the outstretched arms, extended in a gesture that feels equal parts surrender and emergence. But it is the surface, a tangle of braided, fraying textures that reveals the deeper narrative: the layered, unfinished nature of being. Each strand reads like a memory, a choice, a chapter of the self, bound together yet never fully fixed.
From the back, the sculpture suggests a kind of shedding- a piece of the figure trailing behind like cast-off skin or the remnants of an old life.
It evokes the human experience of outgrowing past versions of oneself while still carrying their imprints. The wooden base, warm and grounded, anchors this dynamic tension, reminding us that even as we unravel, we remain rooted in our journey.
“The Unravelling” invites contemplation on transformation- the beauty and vulnerability of change, the quiet courage in letting go, and the endless work of becoming.
