The body, the balance, the monstrosity

If you are at the AKI finals, look to your left and give it a spin!
MetalworkThis sculptural installation explores the tension between vulnerability and form. Inspired by a time of personal turmoil and illness, the dome like metal shapes, supported by thin arms carrying heavy weight, appear fragile but are strong, playful, and quietly persistent.

Each form is assembled from many small welded pieces, with an unpolished interior left visible and an outer surface polished to catch the light as the domes dance in the wind or spin at your touch. Imperfect yet gleaming, they become a tribute to resilience, time, and ultimately, balance.
