Journey (A Heavy Load) Metal, Wood Contemporary Sculpture

This bronze figure advances with a stooped, tender resolve, its body eclipsed by a swollen burden of clustered forms—at once fruit, stones, and unquiet skulls—turning the act of carrying into a meditation on inheritance. The greened patina reads like time itself, oxidizing the surface into a history of weathering, while the reddish under-tones pulse with a more human warmth beneath the corrosion. Compositionally, the long, pronged extension of the vessel projects the weight outward, exaggerating imbalance and making the viewer feel the precarious choreography of labor and memory. The small discarded cluster at the base becomes a quiet coda: what falls away, what is shed, and what still insists on being borne.
