Presence in Absence Sculpture

This piece explores the haunting presence of identity and memory through a stylized equine form, stripped of detail yet full of quiet intensity. Inspired by the idea of absence and the emotional weight it casts, the work invites viewers to confront their own shadows—both literal and psychological. The elongated neck and hollow eyes evoke both elegance and melancholy, urging reflection on what remains unseen. Ceramic was chosen for its earthy tactility and subtle sheen, emphasizing fragility beneath apparent strength. The minimalist style focuses attention on the form’s emotive lines, allowing space for contemplation.
