This sculpture reads like a pause held mid-motion. The cubes appear as if they have been caught just before collapse, yet they do not resist gravity. Instead, they negotiate with it. Each block leans into the next, creating a vertical conversation where weight is shared rather than opposed.
What sharpens this dialogue is the alternating surface treatment. Smooth, polished faces reflect light with clarity, while the textured planes absorb it, slowing the eye. The shift between polish and grain suggests two states of being at work at once. Control and surrender. Precision and trust. The refined surfaces speak of intention, while the striated ones retain the memory of carving, of the hand that shaped them. Balance here is not perfection but adjustment.
The cubes seem embedded into one another, not stacked. Their edges soften as they meet, giving the impression that they are woven together rather than placed. This subtle softness counters the geometry, allowing the form to feel organic despite its strict shape.
At the base, the structure gathers itself, grounding the upward tension. What rises above feels improbable, yet inevitable. Rhythm emerges not from symmetry, but from repetition with variation. The sculpture holds its balance the way one holds breath, carefully, attentively, and fully present in the moment.
