Sisterhood represents the women in my life and their connections through family, friendship, and shared relationships. Their lives meet and overlap in different ways, forming a circle of companionship and support.

The women’s forms are joined through flowing lines and the spaces between them. Each figure retains her individuality while contributing to the movement of the whole. Light travels across the dark, polished marble, revealing the contours of their bodies and hair.

I carved the sculpture with a low centre of gravity, allowing it to balance on an area smaller than the head of a pin and rotate freely at the slightest touch. This movement reveals the figures and their connections in a continually changing sequence, bringing the relationships expressed in the carving into motion.

Through its interconnected forms and delicate balance, Sisterhood honours the women who have shaped my life and the strength of their bonds with one another.
