This sculpture is built around a powerful spiral core, a form that gathers energy inward before releasing it outward. The central ring is not a perfect loop; it compresses and tightens as it curves, creating a sense of pressure, breath, and internal momentum. The void at its center becomes an active element, pulling the eye through the sculpture rather than simply puncturing the stone.
From this coiled center, sharp, crest-like extensions rise upward, introducing contrast to the otherwise rounded motion. These pointed, layered projections give the work direction and tension, shifting it from a purely circular rhythm to something more dynamic and assertive. The sculpture feels caught between fluid movement and structural resistance, as if the form is simultaneously contained and expanding.
The stone’s deep, charcoal tone gives the work gravity and strength, while the varied surface treatment enhances its complexity. Smoothly honed areas absorb light quietly, while rougher textures reveal the carving process and activate the interior curves. This interplay between finish and rawness prevents the spiral from becoming decorative; it remains grounded, weighty, and alive.
Resting on a solid wooden base, the sculpture stands like a condensed force of nature—compact yet charged, calm yet alert. Its presence invites slow observation, revealing a balance between inward concentration and outward awake
