Artist Statement
Hurricane captures the moment when calm space is pulled into a sudden spiral of energy. Formed from mirror-polished stainless steel, the sculpture begins as a circular panel and is then deformed into a dense field of concentric waves that radiate from the center. The surface behaves like a storm-swept sea frozen in mid-rotation: crests tighten toward the core while outer rings loosen and spill outward.
Reflection is treated as moving weather. Walls, ceiling, and viewers are drawn into the pattern, stretched and compressed as they travel across the ripples. From a distance, the piece reads as a single luminous swirl; up close, it reveals pockets of stillness and turbulence where the metal buckles more sharply. The work turns the wall into an active horizon—a place where geometry, light, and time collide.
Hurricane invites the viewer to orbit slowly, to watch how the “eye” of the sculpture remains calm even as the outer bands churn with optical motion. It is a meditation on force and balance, on how intense energy can be held within a precise, controlled form.
1/1 Focal Wall Installation
Install on a clean, matte wall with enough surrounding space for the outline to breathe. Even lighting at 3000–4000 K reveals the layered relief without burning out highlights. Best placed where visitors naturally pass in front of it so they see their reflection pulled into the vortex.
1/2 Collections & Series
Hurricane works as a statement piece in private collections, hotel lobbies, reception areas, and contemporary interiors. It pairs naturally with other wave-based works in the Waves & Ribbons family, creating a dialogue between linear and radial geometries of reflection.
