Lost (2024)

"The Lost, wrought from Earth itself, is a portrait of arrested forcefulness. The intentional absence introduces a layer of existential wonder. The presence is palpably dynamic, seeming to breach the confines of its medium and enter into the viewer's realm, as if to address them directly. As if to release the most treasured sound, known forever onward only to The Lost itself and the recipient of the resonance.

Through the manipulation of form and space, The Lost achieves a powerful visual impact that transcends mere representation. It embodies a paradoxical fusion of certainty and uncertainty, inviting exploration of the tension between the known and the unknown, the visible and the hidden. The Lost engages the imagination, prompting reflection on the complexities of identity, perception, and the boundaries of human understanding.

The artist's deliberate choice to depict the portrait just so creates a striking juxtaposition of assertiveness and vulnerability. The forcefulness of the sculpture's stance and expression suggests a strong presence, demanding attention and contemplation. At the same time, the unresolved aspect of the parts that leave the startle vacancy instills a sense of intrigue and ambiguity, inviting viewers to delve deeper into the narrative hinted at by the piece."
