Terranna

This sculptural work explores the fragile balance that defines the natural world in a rhythm of growth, collapse, renewal and resilience. The terracotta surface evokes both the permanence of the ground beneath us and the vulnerability of what rises from it. The forms lean into one another with a sense of precariousness, as though caught in a moment between falling and standing, opening and closing. This tension speaks to the delicate thresholds within nature: the seed before germination, the shell before breaking, the horizon before dusk.
