transformation

Artwork story

This wood carving features an abstract form that combines curved and geometric patterns. The sculpture resembles the shape of flame, representing one of nature's elements and its transformative power. The piece has a smooth texture and a clear-coated glossy finish, enhancing its visual appeal.

This artwork narrates the journey of the wood prior to its carving. Initially found in a state of neglect, the wood was at risk of decay and destruction. During a studio rearrangement, this piece caught my attention, inspiring me to create a work that reflects its experience. The transformation of the wood symbolizes a universal narrative, particularly resonant for artists. It represents moments when we feel abandoned and left to deteriorate, only to be revitalized by a guiding hand that reveals our hidden potential. This piece serves as a testament to the power of transformation, inviting the audience to reflect on their own life changes and encouraging them to trust the process of growth and renewal.
