This piece, titled "The Crests that Carry the World," draws inspiration from ancient myths and the idea of bearing the weight of the world. The flowing, intertwined design symbolizes strength and resilience, evoking the sense of carrying unseen burdens, much like mythological figures who hold the world upon their shoulders.
The organic, crest-like shapes are reminiscent of natural elements, such as branches or antlers, symbolizing the interconnectedness of life and the silent strength found within nature. The smooth, fluid curves suggest movement and transformation, hinting at the ongoing cycle of growth, adaptation, and change.
The patina finish adds a timeless, earthy quality, evoking a sense of enduring strength and resilience. The choice of an abstract, surreal style was intentional, leaving room for personal interpretation. Viewers might see different meanings in its curves, from crests to waves, each reflecting a unique journey of carrying one's own world.
This piece aims to evoke a sense of resilience and mystique, encouraging viewers to reflect on their inner strength and the unseen burdens carried by others. It was crafted with a natural, textured finish, adding depth and inviting close inspection, where the interplay of curves and shadows tells a story of enduring grace and strength.
