The intricate negative spaces, carved with precision, create an interplay of openness and solidity, inviting the viewer to explore its many facets. The twists and turns of the composition defy a single perspective, ensuring that no photograph can fully capture its complexity or dynamism. This is a sculpture that demands to be seen in person, a tactile and visual experience of movement frozen in stone.
