Metal that floats

Ascent

 captures the essence of uplift — that moment when energy rises, expands, and lifts beyond the weight of the world. This ribbon-like form spirals upward in a single, continuous gesture, suggesting breath, momentum, and transcendence. Its twisting ascent is both deliberate and free, echoing the path of the human spirit as it strives toward clarity, purpose, and light.

The sculpture’s broad, sweeping curves embody strength and resilience, while the narrowing upper form speaks to refinement and release. It rises from a grounded base, yet nothing about its movement feels anchored; instead, it feels buoyant, suspended, as though caught in a thermal current or the uplift of an unseen force.

The shifting planes of the form invite the viewer to walk around it, discovering how light pools in its recesses and glances off its edges — a reminder that growth is multidimensional, and that each turn offers a new perspective. Though abstract, the piece holds an emotional resonance: determination, hope, and the quiet courage required to rise.
