Formed entirely from iron wire, this figure captures a moment of concentrated labour. The body leans forward, absorbed in the task at hand, chiselling into a block of stone held close to the torso. There is no excess movement here. Every line of wire follows the logic of effort, tension, and balance.
The material is crucial to how the work speaks. Iron wire, thin and unyielding, builds a body that appears fragile yet resolute. The figure is not solid in the conventional sense, but it holds itself together through repetition and accumulation. This mirrors the act it depicts: creation achieved not in a single gesture, but through persistence.
The absence of facial detail keeps the focus on action rather than identity. This is not a portrait of one sculptor, but a representation of making itself. The stance, slightly strained yet steady, reflects the physical intimacy between the maker and the material being shaped.
What emerges is a quiet dialogue between two acts of transformation. Stone is being carved by hand, and iron wire is shaped into a human form. The sculpture becomes self-referential, acknowledging the labour behind art and the discipline required to bring form into being.
