A solitary figure leans forward, suspended between motion and pause. The body, shaped from iron wire, appears elongated by gravity itself, as if time has stretched it thin.
One leg supported by the backdrop, the other remains tethered to a rough stone base, anchoring the figure to the present. Behind, a vertical metal plane rises like a wall of recollection, scarred and uneven, bearing silent witness to what has passed.
The most telling detail rests in the hand: a small basket, holding fragments of colour. It reads as memory made tangible. These are the moments we carry quietly, shaping posture, direction, and weight without announcing ourselves. The head bows, not in defeat, but in inward attention, acknowledging the burden without surrendering to it.
The contrast of materials sharpens this narrative. Iron wire gives the body vulnerability and tension, while stone offers resistance and grounding. Together, they speak of a life lived between holding on and moving forward. This is not a figure trapped by the past, but one negotiating with it step by step.
As a sculptural object, Weight of Memories invites reflection without spectacle. It belongs in a space that values pause, offering a reminder that memory is not only what we recall, but what quietly shapes how we stand, walk, and continue.
