She serves as a tribute to relentless female strength and resilience. The sculpture incorporates elements such as the bo staff, tornado-inspired gele, and a poised passé relevé pose to symbolize her warrior spirit and femininity. After a recent rare and destructive tornado in Tallahassee, the sculpture and neighboring buildings were remarkably unharmed. "Oyá" not only demonstrates physical durability but also embodies a spiritual strength that mirrors the resilience of the surrounding community. She stands as a beacon of liberation and unity for all who encounter her presence. + year: 2024 gallery: - image: /img/art/3.webp - image: /img/art/4.webp @@ -20,7 +23,9 @@ art: - image: /img/art/127.webp - main: /img/art/8.webp - title: 2 + title: + listOrder: 2 + status: description: year: gallery: @@ -34,7 +39,9 @@ art: - image: /img/art/20.webp - main: /img/art/12.webp - title: 3 + title: + listOrder: 3 + status: description: year: gallery: @@ -43,15 +50,20 @@ art: - image: /img/art/14.webp - main: /img/art/15.webp - title: 4 - description: - year: + title: Solace + listOrder: 4 + status: + description: | + In crafting this piece, I sought to capture a fleeting yet profound moment of tenderness. Using hand-bent copper wire, I delicately shaped the contours of two faces intertwined in a serene embrace. One face gently leans forward, pressing a soft kiss upon the forehead of the other, evoking a sense of quiet affection and connection. Through the simplicity of a single line, I aimed to convey the depth of emotion and the beauty found in intimate human interactions. This artwork invites viewers to contemplate the subtleties of love and the gentle power of a caring touch, encapsulated in the fluidity and grace of wire sculpture. + year: 2018 gallery: - image: /img/art/15.webp - image: /img/art/16.webp - main: /img/art/21.webp - title: 5 + title: + listOrder: 5 + status: description: year: gallery: @@ -63,7 +75,9 @@ art: - image: /img/art/26.webp - main: /img/art/27.webp - title: 6 + title: + listOrder: 6 + status: description: year: gallery: @@ -88,7 +102,9 @@ art: - image: /img/art/122.webp - main: /img/art/33.webp - title: 7 + title: + listOrder: 7 + status: description: year: gallery: @@ -99,14 +115,19 @@ art: - image: /img/art/38.webp - main: /img/art/36.webp - title: 8 - description: - year: + title: The Invisible Hand + listOrder: 8 + status: + description: | + "The Invisible Hand" represents the relentless sacrifice of the working man under the weight of corporate greed.
