Attraction and Resistance

This body of work examines the gravitational forces that shape personal identity — the push and pull of desire, memory, connection, and introspection. At its center, Convergence reimagines the classic horseshoe magnet as a figurative sculpture, drawing bodies toward its arch in a dynamic flow of motion. The magnet becomes both literal and metaphorical: a vessel of attraction and ambition, as well as a trap for recurring cycles of striving and self-entanglement. The figures clinging to or reaching for the magnet speak to shared goals and the illusion of collective progress, yet also reveal the tension of being caught between personal longing and external pressures. This duality — connection versus collapse, desire versus disillusionment — defines the psychological core of the work.

That psychological core echoes throughout the surrounding figurative sculptures, each delving into the nuanced relationship between self-perception and societal expectation. In Masturbation Sculpture, the intimate act becomes a portal for regeneration and mental awakening, turning the body into a site of cyclical energy and intellectual renewal. The Discomfort magnifies the quiet struggle of the body under social constraint — the tension between skin and fabric, form and conformity. 

In Men Will Be Men, humor and pathos converge through the image of bald heads dreaming of combs and forgotten hairstyles — a meditation on absence, masculinity, and memory.

Other works — such as To The Past, Key Personified, and With My Head and Heart — explore the self as a layered, evolving entity: shaped by time, introspection, and the desire for coherence between intellect, emotion, and action. These sculptures position the body not just as a form, but as a mirror for the unseen forces we navigate daily — vulnerability, ambition, displacement, nostalgia, and the ongoing effort to understand who we are becoming.
