The playful spirals serve as an allegorical ascent, pulling the gaze—and the spirit—upwards in a perpetual quest for connection. The hand-formed and hand-patterned solid brass exudes a warmth and dynamism; it is both the journey and the aspiration, an uplifting dance of material and soul. Each piece is unique in its patterning, much like individual paths in life, yet they all share the same transformative essence, suggesting a universal thread that links us all. The heavy base, matte and immovable, is not just a physical grounding but an emotional one, representing those unchanging parts of ourselves—our core beliefs, our most deeply held values—that provide the foundation for all we aspire to be. The entwined brass spirals, in contrast, are a vivid embodiment of our ever-changing, ever-reaching natures. A dance of light and shadow, reminiscent of life's joys and challenges. As the viewer’s eyes trace the ribboned brass, they are led upwards—inviting reflection on their own personal transformations, their own path towards growth and connection. In an age where we often feel rooted to the ground by the weight of the world, "Wreathe" reminds us that we are always capable of reaching for the sky, forever able to seek the light.
