Soaring explores the flowing forms shared by creatures moving through air and water. I was drawn to the similarities between a bird in flight and a fish swimming—the streamlined bodies and extended surfaces that allow each to move through its surroundings.
Carved from Carrara marble, the sculpture changes character with the viewer’s position. From one angle, it suggests a bird lifting on outstretched wings; from another, a fish swimming. It can also recall a glider riding an unseen current, leaving its identity open to discovery.
The pale marble contrasts with the jade in the composition, while the raised form emphasises balance and direction. Through these changing views, Soaring expresses the freedom of movement in a material firmly bound by weight.
