Caption:

Suspended within a translucent orb, the figure sits upon a crumbling island of molten earth, its edges dripping into nothingness. The mirrored face catches the faint red echoes of distant lights, their source unknown, their meaning obscured. Inside this sealed world, there is no wind, no sound—only the weight of stillness and the slow erosion of all that was solid. The sphere is both sanctuary and prison, holding the figure in a fragile equilibrium between isolation and preservation.

Artist Process:

This piece centers on the juxtaposition of containment and decay, with the glasslike sphere acting as a perfect, reflective boundary that traps the subject within. The interplay between the luminous transparency of the orb and the heavy, textured mass beneath the figure creates a tension between fragility and permanence. Strategic lighting ensures the red accents draw the viewer’s attention into the enclosed space, while the gradual drip of molten material breaks the otherwise pristine enclosure, hinting at inevitable collapse.
