Mother (Gestating Form) Welded Iron, Brass Nude Sculpture

This sculptural torso, perforated into a lattice of repeating ovals, turns the solidity of the body into an architecture of absence—flesh translated into pattern, weight into breath. Light threads through its openings to cast shifting shadows, so the figure feels simultaneously present and dissolving, as if identity were something continually revised by what passes through it. The burnished, darkened surface carries a quiet monumentality, yet the openwork interrupts any claim to permanence, proposing vulnerability as a form of strength. In its pared stance and rhythmic voids, the work reads like a meditation on femininity not as spectacle, but as resilient structure—hollowed, luminous, enduring.
