Observing the movements of the body as it translates emotions, physical impairments, and pain thresholds of our bodily vessel. I primarily utilise materials easily malleable like soft metal rod, the pliable and viscosity of wax and the durability, strength, and the rich earthy tones of bronze. I translate the gestural line and form of the body in motion and express the rhythms that resonate within the form resilience to override adversity.
