In Essence, a stack of pillowed turquoise forms, balanced atop a sleek pedestal, rises like a serene column against the horizon. Each element reflects the light uniquely, creating subtle shifts in tone that bring the sculpture to life as the viewer moves around it. The soft, buoyant shapes suggest a feeling of weightlessness, while their alignment speaks to a grounding stability. This work is an exploration of purity and form, a meditation on harmony that resonates with the calm of the surrounding landscape, inviting reflection on the beauty of simplicity and balance.
