Exploration 2 (Boundless Energy) Bronze, Wood Animal Sculpture

This sculptural tableau reads like a fractured globe turned diorama, where polished animal forms burst through a weathered shell as if memory and instinct refuse containment. The tension between slick, reflective surfaces and the scarred, perforated “terrain” creates a choreography of escape and collision—bodies suspended between fall and flight, survival and spectacle. Warm, woodlike strata and stitched seams suggest repair, yet the ruptures remain visible, turning the work into a meditation on vulnerability: nature pressed into confines, still insisting on motion. The circular composition acts as both cradle and trap, inviting the eye to orbit its wounds and witness resilience as an uneasy kind of grace.
