About
A kinetic sculpture exploring humanity's relationship with nature and reality — carved wood, copper, and sand working together in perpetual motion to express what we feel but cannot fully see.
Impact
By inviting people to pause and feel their place within nature rather than apart from it. In a world of overstimulation, this work creates a moment of stillness where the viewer confronts the gap between perception and truth.
Progress
The sculpture is complete — form carved, copper armature constructed, kinetic elements balanced and moving, painted marks applied. It's the first model 60cm high. Planning to make a higher one 1.50m to stand up in the room.
Team
I make work from lived experience — not theory. This sculpture came from a period of genuine personal questioning about reality, nature, and belonging.
