There is a rare calm in this sculpture- a stillness so complete that it seems to hum beneath the surface. The closed eyes, softly curved lips, and the hand resting beneath the chin capture a moment of inward listening, as if the figure has turned entirely toward the quiet landscapes of her own mind.
From this interior world rise three delicate birds, their forms unfurling directly from her head. They are not ornaments but extensions of thought itself: insights taking flight, intuitions gaining shape, understanding moving toward clarity. Their differing directions hint at the many paths wisdom can take, some soaring high, some circling back, some venturing where the known world dissolves into possibility.
The dark finish deepens this sense of contemplation. Its warm, shadowed sheen suggests something time-tested, as though the wisdom here was shaped by experience- carved not only by the artist’s tools but by the echoes of memory, reflection, and resilience.
“Wings of Her Wisdom” becomes less a portrait and more a metaphor. It reminds us that the mind’s truest expansions often begin in silence, and that ideas- once understood, do what birds naturally do: they rise, they roam, and they return transformed.
