Aspiration (Elevated Form) Brass Figurative Sculpture

This small figurative sculpture, its body built from rhythmic, contour-like striations, turns the human form into a topography of memory—each ring suggesting time’s accumulation rather than anatomical precision. The raised arm reads simultaneously as greeting, surrender, and signal, while the cool green patina lends the figure an archaeological tenderness, as if it has surfaced from a submerged past. Strong lateral light carves a doubled presence through shadow, amplifying the sense that identity is never singular but echoed, projected, and continually revised in space. In its quiet stance, the work proposes resilience as a gesture: imperfect, exposed, and still insistently reaching.
