About this artwork
This steel piece is human-sized, reinforcing its presence. I wanted a "standing" sculpture that suggests calm and balance.
A piece that soothes with its presence. Lines that are both soft and stretched upward. Entirely powder-coated in textured black (the surface has a fine grain), this sculpture reveals a slight vertical relief on each of the large faces.
Thus, the walls reflect light in different ways depending on their orientation. The whole… is both intentional, like a totem, and soothing due to the sobriety of the lines.
