Torso grew from my admiration for classical Greek sculpture and the work of Michelangelo. Departing from my exploration of abstract forms, I turned toward realism and the challenge of expressing movement through the human figure.
The figure suggests a woman extending her left arm toward something just beyond her reach. That gesture gives the sculpture a sense of purpose and anticipation, inviting the viewer to imagine what she is reaching for.
In this work, I wanted to explore how the torso alone could communicate an action and an emotion. The relationship between anatomy, balance, and gesture became central to the carving, allowing the body to suggest a story without fully revealing it.
