Artist Statement
Penetration explores the idea of force meeting resistance. The polished steel surface appears as if pushed from within, capturing the moment when an invisible pressure breaks through a perfect plane. The work reflects the tension between softness and rigidity—an interaction where metal behaves like skin, stretching, bulging, and yielding without breaking. Each deformation becomes a frozen record of movement, questioning the boundaries between solidity and fluidity.
1/1 Installation
This piece is suited for intimate interior spaces—entry halls, gallery pedestals, modern living rooms, or boutique lobbies. Its compact dimensions allow it to function both as a standalone sculptural centerpiece and as part of a collection. Adjustable focused lighting enhances its fluid distortions and shadow play.
