Abstract
Eclipse
Dimensions: 48 x 48 x 12 inches
Material Used: Bronze and Steel
Description: Eclipse explores the transition between light and darkness, symbolizing moments of change and transformation. The twisting curves and sharp angles mirror the uncertainty and beauty found in these pivotal moments. This piece represents a metaphorical "eclipse" in personal growth, where one phase ends and another begins, leaving space for new possibilities.
Whispers of the Wind
Dimensions: 36 x 24 x 24 inches
Material Used: Marble
Description: This abstract piece captures the ethereal quality of wind, with delicate curves and fluid motion. The marble’s smooth texture contrasts with the force it represents, invoking the quiet, invisible power of nature. Whispers of the Wind is a reminder of the forces that shape our lives—silent, yet ever-present.
Figurative
Fallen Angel
Dimensions: 72 x 36 x 24 inches
Material Used: Limestone
Description: Fallen Angel depicts the vulnerable yet powerful moment of descent, capturing both beauty and sorrow. The figure is caught in mid-motion, suspended in a dynamic, lifelike pose. The use of limestone adds a sense of permanence, suggesting that even in moments of despair, there is a beauty in imperfection.
Strength in Silence
Dimensions: 54 x 30 x 30 inches
Material Used: Bronze
Description: A tribute to the silent strength found in resilience. The piece shows a seated figure with arms crossed, evoking the sense of stillness before action. The smooth surface contrasts with the rougher edges, symbolizing inner conflict and the power to endure without a word spoken.
Public Art
Unity
Dimensions: 10 x 8 x 5 feet
Material Used: Stainless Steel
Description: Unity was created as a public installation to symbolize harmony and collaboration. The flowing forms in this monumental piece are interconnected, signifying the strength found in unity. The polished surface reflects its surroundings, representing the interconnectedness of the community.
Hope Rising
Dimensions: 8 x 4 x 4 feet
Material Used: Recycled Glass and Steel
Description: Installed in a public park, Hope Rising represents the triumph of hope in times of uncertainty. The vibrant colors of the recycled glass capture light and reflect different shades of meaning depending on the time of day. The piece invites onlookers to pause and reflect on the concept of hope in everyday life.
Installations
Silent Echoes
Dimensions: Installation of 5 sculptures, each 5 feet tall
Material Used: Wood, Stone, and Wire
Description: Silent Echoes is an immersive installation that examines the passage of time and memory. Each sculpture in the installation is positioned to evoke a sense of movement, with the materials—wood for fragility, stone for permanence, and wire for connection—working together to form a narrative that reverberates through space.
Between Earth and Sky
Dimensions: Variable (site-specific installation)
Material Used: Mixed Media (Stone, Concrete, and Fabric)
Description: Between Earth and Sky was created for an open-air exhibition, symbolizing the relationship between the natural world and human influence. The suspended fabric interacts with the environment, swaying in the breeze and altering the perception of the surrounding space, inviting viewers to question the boundaries between nature and human-made elements.
Mixed Media
Fragmented Reality
Dimensions: 36 x 36 x 12 inches
Material Used: Mixed Media (Clay, Glass, and Metal)
Description: This piece reflects the fractured nature of human perception. The clay and glass elements are intertwined, representing the distortion of reality through subjective experiences. The metal fragments provide a sense of sharp contrast, reminding the viewer of the boundaries and limitations within our understanding of the world.
