Composition (A Fractured Identity) Metal, Wood Figurative Sculpture

This enigmatic sculptural fragment reads like a relic pulled from the archaeology of the self: a torso without limbs, crowned by a truncated neck, yet insistently alive with two outward-facing heads that hold the space in vigilant stillness. The bronzed surface, mottled with green patina, stages time as a corrosive collaborator—beauty accruing through weathering—while the frontal band of vertical striations and faint text acts like a barred threshold between inner consciousness and public inscription. By compressing identity into a single, heavy mass, the work suggests that heroism and grief, memory and erasure, are not opposites but fused strata—felt most acutely where the body is absent and the gaze remains.
