Game (Mother and Child) Bronze, Wood Figurative Sculpture

Cradled within a fractured, canoe-like sweep of earthen browns, a sleek black figure arcs into a poised, almost balletic gesture, turning the void into a vessel of intimacy. The composition hinges on a tensile curve—wood’s rough, tactile grain set against the figure’s polished silhouette—so that stability feels negotiated rather than given. Jagged, vertical shards at either end read like cliffs or broken ramparts, framing the central exchange as a quiet act of trust held above an unseen precipice. Light glances off the dark form like a single, sustained breath, suggesting tenderness that persists precisely because the surrounding world remains splintered.
