A winged figure settles into itself, perched on a narrow column, neither rising nor retreating. The body curves inward, knees drawn close, as if gathering thought rather than motion. The wings remain open, intricately traced in looping iron wire, yet they do not beat the air. They wait. This pause becomes the centre of the work: a moment where potential is fully present but deliberately unspent.
The choice of material sharpens this reading. Iron wire lends the figure a raw, exposed quality, its form built from tension rather than mass. Every line feels provisional, held together by balance and intent.
In contrast, the vertical column and circular base provide weight and grounding, anchoring the figure to the earth. What emerges is a dialogue between ascent and support, between the desire to move beyond and the need to remain held.
Seen up close, the work invites quiet reflection. It speaks of inner reckonings, of times when strength gathers inward before change becomes possible. Placed on a table or console, it transforms an everyday surface into a site of contemplation.
The object functions practically, yet its presence extends further, offering a steady reminder that stillness, too, can be an active state, and that waiting can be a form of resolve rather than hesitation.
