Caption:

A lone figure sits hunched atop a black sphere, hands shielding the mirrored void of their face. Around them coils an endless mass of glossy tendrils, each one alive with the faint memory of movement. The only light comes from within—two red glows reflected in the curve of the head, like distant windows into another place. The space feels suffocating, a tangle without exit, where stillness is the only form of resistance.

Artist Process:

This work is built on repetition and entanglement. The coiled tendrils radiate outward from the central figure, their rhythmic shapes creating both texture and a sense of inescapable confinement. The sphere serves as a grounding element, its smooth perfection contrasting the chaotic knots surrounding it. The reflective head captures controlled red highlights, adding a humanizing pulse to an otherwise alien surface. A restrained palette of blacks and crimson preserves visual intensity while heightening emotional isolation.

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.
