Grounded - A handmade sculpture standing 19 cm high, featuring a solitary tree perched atop a smooth sphere; the trunk rises in a graceful, slightly twisted line, its textured bark and branches finished with subtle tool marks that speak to the maker’s hand. The sphere’s surface is gently burnished, providing a quiet contrast to the tree’s intricate detail, and the composition balances tension and calm—suggesting resilience, isolation, and quiet strength. Proportions are carefully considered so the tree appears rooted yet weightless, and the piece’s compact scale invites close viewing, encouraging the observer to notice small irregularities and the tactile quality of the clay or metal.
